• One of the simplest ways to avoid microplastics from getting into what you cook and eat at home is to switch from a plastic cutting board to a wooden one. When you use a plastic board, tiny flecks of plastic can end up in whatever you’re slicing and dicing on the board. Not convinced? Take a look at your plastic board. If there are visible scratches, you’re creating microplastics. A wooden board is better for you, lasts longer, won’t dull knives as quickly and can easily be sanitized for food safety purposes, too.
