Easy to clean - yes. No idea what kind of plastic - looked for, but didn't see any recycling symbol. From trying to mend an older one, I know it doesn't glue well. Since I don't touch it much, or eat anything off it, I wasn't personally concerned re: BPA.

I didn't find anything stating it is BPA free, but the plastic is almost like a hard acrylic type. A few times I have used it with boiling water and it looks like it cracked but its was not. I have been very happy with this beaker. On the bottom it does have 7 in the recycling and made in Germany. Hope this helps.

People, BPA-free is a meaningless term. It only means that the plastic is most likely BPS plastic, which is equally a health concern.

It's plastic... But mine doesn't show any signs of melting. I won't claim to be the most thorough though. So it might melt if you clean too long.

Per Progressive International's website (progressiveintl.com), "Materials: PP and TPE". Also on their website it states that beginning mid 2014 their products are BPA free.

I am wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if this is BPA free or can give the recycling number listed in the triangle?

Yes it is BPA free, I called and they said all their plastics were BPA free. The tip drips sometimes so I leave it standing when not using it.

There is BPA free plastic in contact with the water. This is a safe kind of plastic.

It's a sturdy plastic and I think it's PBA free. Hope that answers your question. We love ours and use it all the time. It has held up really well.

It doesn't matter if the plastic is BPA free or not. The chemical that BPA replaced was toxic & whatever the chemical used to replace BPA will also be toxic. Using petroleum based plastic in food products is not very smart, unless you like consuming carcinogens�

I've been wondering the same thing. I've done some research and can't find anything about this particular model being BPA free, but hard plastics generally are. For those who don't know what BPA is, it's Bisphenol A (BPA), a carbon-based synthetic compound often used in the production of plastics.

it is made of food grade HDPE plastic. i think that is automatically BPA free, but i don't know for certain.

I agree it is not plastic, I have had mine since November love the look. I have black and if you don't dry it every day it starts to turns white, then I have to scrub it agin. Haven't yet figured out the perfect cleaning product on it yet.

They are plastic; but there are no markings on the dish to indicate what type of plastic (PBA free?). They are easy to clean and maintain and still look brand-new when we wash the dog drewl off. :) Overall we have been happy with them.

I have one and it isn't plastic. I like it and am thinking about ordering the longer version too.

It is plastic, I thought bpa free...works well but I also don't leave it in for long periods and use ice water
