Environmental protection analysis
The environmental advantages of high-temperature resistant silicone (usually referring to food-grade platinum vulcanized silicone) are mainly reflected in:

Long-term usability: High-quality silicone is resistant to aging, not prone to deformation or yellowing, and has a much longer service life than plastic products (such as PP and PE), reducing the waste of resources caused by frequent replacement.

Recyclability: Some silicone products can be physically recycled and regenerated. After degradation, they produce silicon dioxide and water, which is more environmentally friendly than plastic (which takes hundreds of years to decompose).

Low-carbon production: The production process of silicone does not emit toxic substances (for example, chlorine gas is produced during PVC processing), and high-temperature silicone products usually do not require coating treatment, avoiding chemical pollution.

2. Health and safety verification
The health advantages of high-temperature resistant silicone (applicable from -40℃ to 250℃) include:

Non-toxic and harmless: Food-grade silicone has passed FDA, LFGB and other certifications, and contains no BPA, plasticizers or heavy metals. Even after high-temperature steaming, it will not release harmful substances.

Antibacterial property: The surface of silicone is dense and smooth, making it less prone to bacterial growth (more hygienic compared to wooden and plastic tableware).

Strong stability: Resistant to acids and alkalis, does not absorb odors (for example, silicone food storage LIDS will not retain food flavors).

Notes:

It is necessary to verify the test report (such as SGS certification) to avoid inferior silicone being mixed with recycled materials.

Bright-colored silicone may be dyed with oxides. It is safer to choose the original color (semi-transparent/white).

3. Practicality Evaluation
The core functional performance of high-temperature resistant silicone household products:

Temperature resistance: It can withstand disinfection in ovens, microwave ovens, and boiling water (such as silicone baking molds, baby bottle brushes).

Anti-scald and anti-drop: Silicone has good heat insulation (such as the handle of a spatula), and its elastic cushioning prevents breakage (compared to ceramic and glass).

Easy-to-use design: foldable storage (silicone water cups, lunch boxes), suction cup fixation (children's dining bowls), etc.

Limitations:

Some silicone products are relatively soft (for example, a silicone spoon lacks sufficient force when stir-frying), so you need to choose according to the scene.

Long-term contact with oil may cause slight color bleeding (high-temperature frying for a long time should be avoided).

Conclusion: Rational choice is the key
High-temperature resistant silicone household products generally perform well in terms of environmental protection, health and practicality, but they must meet the following conditions:

Choose pure platinum vulcanized silicone rubber (check the test report), and avoid mixing materials.

Give priority to primary or light-colored products to reduce the risk of dyes;

For on-demand use: Silicone is recommended for high-temperature cooking and baby products, but stainless steel is suitable for high-frequency operations such as stir-frying.

Market data supports that the global food-grade silicone market is growing by 12% annually. The three most concerned characteristics of consumers are: safety (72%), durability (65%), and environmental friendliness (58%).
