Can someone look at the case the spoon goes in and look for the recycling code number (1 through 7) to see what kind of plastic the case is made of?

I do not see a recycling code on the spoon or case. The spoon only has the OXO symbol on it and a 'China' stamp on the handle. On the case itself there is an 'A2' on it and then A BPA free symbol. But no number like you see for recycling codes.

I actually didn't see a recycling code on it. Sorry. It does say BPA free and dishwasher safe.

I have no idea. You need to contact the manufacturer in order to find out what kind of plastic was used.

It could have been used. They can replace the protective plastic and other parts/cables or maybe even replace the entire case leaving the old guts inside.

Outer case is full metal, guts appear to be plastic...haven't needed to look!

Rather than comment on whether my container is BPA free I suggest determining whether your container is BPA free. You never know when or if they may switch materials. You can check this by looking for the number inside the recycle triangle. A "7" inside the recycle triangle indicates that the plastic is not BPA free - but not all "7"s contain BPA. A "2","4" or "5" in the triangle indicates it is BPA free and the safest. Your best bet is to ask the mfg'r. Mine is BPA free. To say it is food grade and therefore safe is a bit misleading. Plastics 1 through 7 are all used with food and so are food grade. However, like "7", some have cautions regarding use. Mine is BPA free.

On our cups it is a #7 which means it contains a resin or combination of plastics. Plus is difficult to recycle because of this combination. It is said to use #7 at your own risk but my husband [74 years old] has used this cup for many years [or slight variation] and hasn't killed him yet. The one of ours that I looked at had a #4 on the outside and would seem that numbers may differ on what some others have.

They have a coloured set if you are worried about this. Each size is a different colour. I have those & I don't even need to read the spoons just grab the right colour.

It is a type of plastic. You would have to contact Nordic Ware to find out the composition. I've used mine for may years and don't feel there's a problem.

We don't know; you could try it. If you're concerned about carcinogens in the plastic, suggest you inquire of the manufacturer about that.

Yes-A nice plastic case. Ill sell the one I have cheap...I think it is hard to use and to see the numbers.

Yes, the storage case is made of plastic. I will now give you my opinion on the product. I don't trust the readings. This is an inexpensive device, but I don't use the one that I bought because the readings aren't close to what I get at the doctor's office.

This mug has a recycle code of "7". This is the explanation I found regarding the code"7" You can identify plastics made with BPA by looking for the plastic identification number "7" inside the recycling symbol on their label.Be cautioned, though, because that is just a recycling code. Code 7 refers to plastics that don't have recycling potential. It refers to "all other plastics" not included in codes 1-6. Some are also marked with "PC" for polycarbonate.Read more: http://www.vcstar.com/news/2008/may/16/how-can-you-tell-if-a-bottle-contains-bpa/#ixzz2ZGFH39uE - vcstar.com This mug has a recycle code of "7".

Not quite sure what your asking since unless it's recycled, plastic isn't green to me. So I'm going to have to go with no.

It probably depends on where you live. Some places take just about anything made of plastic. While other areas, like ours, only recycle common stuff like soda bottles and milk jugs. Probably have to ask your pickup or local recycle center to know for sure. It's not marked with any recycle numbers, if that's what you're asking.

Good question but I don't have an answer. There isn't a recycling code stamp on the product & I've disposed of the packaging. It is, however, a very sturdy plastic that I expect will last many years.

I looked one more time inside it, I have to say inside is plastic also except the bottom part is Stainless!
