Figmint 11"x14" Nonslip Recycled Poly Cutting Board Cream
Summary
Recycled polypropylene (rPP) cutting board from Target's Figmint brand. While made from recycled content, polypropylene plastic boards shed microplastics with every knife cut — studies estimate 50-100mg of microplastics per use. BPA-free but microplastic generation remains a significant concern. Plastic boards score lowest in food safety research when considering contamination of food with plastic particles.
