Our food grade plastic LED light products at Light Venus

We are frequently asked about the food grade plastic used in our LED light products at Light Venus. Here, we have put together a quick guide to answer the questions

What makes a food grade plastic?

As name suggests, food grade plastics are specifically manufactured to meet certain standards of purity, which means they’re made without the use of dyes or any recycled materials that could pose a risk to human health. This is because the most acidic foods and alcohol can sometimes leach plastic additives from the container or packaging into the food, which opens up the possibility of these additives then being consumed by humans. The purity of food-grade plastic prevents this process from occurring. For example, products for the food and beverage industry frequently require containers that are safe to store almost for any food or drink.

Is food grade plastic safe?

Definitely yes! Food grade plastic is specifically manufactured so that it’s able to come into contact with substances meant for human and animal consumption, without risk of contamination. Not every type of plastic has this type of purity, which means using non food-grade plastics to store consumables can present serious health risks. Examples of food-grade plastics include but are not limited PS, PVDF, Acetal, UHMWPE, Polypropylene, Polyester (PET), Polyethylene in grade 300 to 500 density.

Can food grade plastic be recycled?

It depends on the specific material in question, but in general yes, food grade plastic are recyclable. High density polyethylene is one of the most widely recycled plastics.

Food grade plastic application at Light Venus

Here at Light Venus, the main materials that we used in our LED lights products are PS and high-density polyethylene.

The application of PS plastic is our LED wine drinking glasses, including LED cocktail glasses, LED champagne flutes, LED tumbler, LED long drinking glasses. In addition, our LED wine glasses have certifications from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The material choice for most of our LED lights products is high-density polyethylene because of its excellent impact and chemical resistant properties.
