    No where. No type of plastic is friendly (unless it's BPA-free, but even then, it's still plastic). There are, however, other "friendly" resources such as:

    Aluminum (which can still have BPA, but isn't as bad as plastic)

    Stainless steel

    Glass

    Complex Carbonate (which is basically the same as plastic, so it's not much better)

    I agree with Lily. Plastics are all petroleum products. Have you tried alternatives for whatever it is that you're looking for? I use glass canning jars and recycled glass bottles in the freezer, glass bowls with a plate over them to keep leftovers in the refrigerator, etc., etc. The things that are most difficult are appliances, small and large.

    My Plastic-free Life is a fun & interesting blog.
