Author Amanda Martinez tells us also that, quote: "The average American is said to consume 185 pounds of plastic each year." End quote.

The figure is maybe about the same for Sweden as the use of plastic in the food industry is quite similar.
Also according to Amanda Martinez, a couple of health-oriented stores in the US have scrapped their stock of polycarbonate baby bottles as they leak BPA (bisphenol A) when warmed to 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
