Amapuleti epulasitiki ayizinto ezivamile zetafula ekuphileni kwansuku zonke. Ngenxa yokukhanya kwawo, ukuqina, nokufinyeleleka kwawo, asetshenziswa kakhulu ezindlini, ezindaweni zokudlela, nasezindaweni zangaphandle. Kodwa-ke, abathengi abaningi bavame ukungakunaki ukubaluleka kokukhetha nokusebenzisa amapuleti epulasitiki ukulinganisa ukusebenza nokuphepha.
Okokuqala, lapho ukhetha amapuleti epulasitiki, qaphela indaba. Izinto ezijwayelekile zamapuleti epulasitiki zifaka i-polypropylene (PP), i-polyethylene (PE), ne-polystyrene (PS). I-PP inokumelana okuhle nokushisa, ukumelana namazinga okushisa acishe abe ngu-120, okuyenza ifanelekele ukushisisa i-microwave. I-PS, nokho, (njengamabhokisi esidlo sasemini egwebu alahlwayo) ayikwazi ukumelana nokushisa{4}}futhi ingase ikhiphe izinto eziyingozi lapho ishiswa, ngakho akufanele isetshenziselwe ukubamba ukudla okushisayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho,{6}amapuleti epulasitiki ekhwalithi ephezulu anendawo ebushelelezi futhi awanuki, kuyilapho imikhiqizo esezingeni eliphansi ingase ibe nama-plasticizers noma izinsimbi ezisindayo, ezingaba yingozi empilweni ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ngakho-ke, kunconywa ukubeka phambili imikhiqizo ebhalwe "ibanga lokudla" noma "i-microwave safe."
Ukumelana nokushisa kwamapuleti epulasitiki kubalulekile ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa. Ngisho namapuleti e-PP amelana nokushisa-akumele avezwe emlilweni ovulekile noma abekwe ngokuqondile{2}}kuhhavini wezinga lokushisa eliphezulu isikhathi eside. Lapho uhlanza, gwema ukunwaya ngezinto eziqinile ezifana noboya bensimbi, njengoba lokhu kungalimaza isakhiwo esingaphezulu futhi kukhuthaze ukukhula kwamagciwane. Uma i-microwaving, kunconywa ukuthi umboze ngethawula lephepha eliphefumulayo ukuze uvikele ukudla ukuthi kungafafazi. Futhi, lawula isikhathi sokushisa ukuze ugweme ukushisa nokuguqulwa.
Amapuleti epulasitiki alahlwayo afanelekile, kodwa ukuthembela ngokweqile kuwo kungandisa imithwalo yemvelo. Lapho kungenzeka khona, amapuleti epulasitiki asebenziseka kabusha anobungani bemvelo. Ngemuva kokusetshenziswa, kufanele zihlanzwe ngokushesha futhi zomiswe kahle. Gcina endaweni{3}enomoya omuhle, neyomile ukuze ugweme umswakama omude ongaholela ekukhuleni kwesikhunta.
Ngamafuphi, amapuleti epulasitiki kufanele akhethwe futhi asetshenziswe ngokufanele ngokusekelwe ezintweni zabo ezibonakalayo, ukunciphisa umthelela wabo wemvelo. Imikhuba yokusetshenziswa efanele ingaqinisekisa ukunethezeka ngenkathi futhi ilinganisela ukucatshangelwa kwezempilo nemvelo.
