Where these two actually differ
- We flag BPA/BPS in plastic lid, Bleach residues in molded fiber, Microplastics from degraded lid and Mold or microbial growth in molded fiber on the and not on the Matter.
- We flag Microbe/mold growth if stored damp and Cellulose degradation under repeated hot/wet stress on the Matter and not on the .
- The is Molded fiber (plant-based pulp), vented plastic lid where the Matter is Plant-based fiber pulp (compostable), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 75 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Matter is the one to buy.
