Evidence before recommendations.

We record sources, separate claims from evidence, and leave unanswered questions visible.

1. Identify the exact product

Record model, version, region, and review date.

2. Map the materials

Document food and water contact surfaces, heat, wear, and cleaning instructions using manufacturer specifications, manuals, and relevant independent evidence.

3. Label the evidence

Distinguish documented facts, manufacturer claims, conflicting evidence, and unknowns. Link sources and dates.

4. Compare practical tradeoffs

Show cost, performance, maintenance, and material differences. Affiliate commission does not determine material assessments.

Scores stay internal for now

The proposed Plastic Exposure Index remains in development. No numerical score should be treated as a measured exposure or estimate of health risk.

How we use product images

Product names, trademarks, and product images belong to their respective owners. We use a limited number of official product images to identify the exact items discussed in our independent educational coverage, commentary, and comparisons. Their inclusion does not imply that a manufacturer sponsors, endorses, or approves Plastic Clarity.

We credit and link to the original manufacturer whenever practical, keep a record of each source, and replace images with affiliate supplied or original photography when available. Rights holders may contact us to request a correction, updated credit, replacement, or removal.
