It was news to me too that BPA could wind up being in other recycled products…honestly, I would query the Sharon Begley, the author of the Newsweek article to get more information. The link to the article is http://www.newsweek.com/id/202791

Hi Laura…
This is eye wakening! Thanks for sharing! My question is…does BPA ever leave a product that it came in…for example, the newspaper….do we not recycle it and just dump it in the trash instead? But if we recycle, doesn’t whatever process it goes thru before it becomes a pizza box kill off/or eliminate the BPA? I am curious how the recycling plants work and if there are anywork done to sterilize and eliminate the BPA in the recycling of all those recycle items we though away.

Thanks!
Linda
