Which types of plastic containers and bottles can be reused and safe?

Some plastics can have a negative effect on your health. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, you should also avoid using plastic number six (check the little recyclable symbol to distinguish it). And plastics number one and seven are fine for single use, but shouldn’t be reused.

Plastic three shouldn’t be reused or microwaved — which is unfortunate, since some plastic wraps are designed for this purpose. Which ones are in the clear? Reuse and eat from plastics two, four and five without worry.
