Plastic

Food-grade plastic earns its place where breakage is a real risk: a terrace, a poolside, a table where children eat. It carries the shape and weight of glassware without the consequence of dropping it. In the SantHome range plastic appears in outdoor drinkware and picnic pieces. Every piece is BPA-free.

Plastic

Properties

  • BPA-free: made without bisphenol A, the plasticiser linked to hormone disruption
  • Shatter-resistant, the property that earns it a place outdoors and around children
  • Lightweight: significantly lighter than glass for the same volume
  • Holds colour and clarity well but scratches more easily than glass over years of use
  • Not heat-resistant the way glass or ceramic is, so keep it away from direct heat sources

Care

Hand wash with a soft cloth and warm water. Keep it away from direct heat, and skip abrasive sponges, which dull the surface over time.

Plastic FAQs

Is SantHome's plastic drinkware safe for daily use?

Yes. Every plastic piece in the range is BPA-free and food-grade. It is chosen for outdoor and family use specifically because it will not shatter like glass.

Why does plastic drinkware scratch over time?

Plastic is softer than glass, so repeated washing and stacking leave fine scratches that glass would resist. Hand washing with a soft cloth instead of an abrasive sponge slows this considerably.
