Is your plastic chopping board this scratched? It may be time for a replacement. 🔪 Repeated cutting can wear down plastic surfaces and release microplastic particles, while deep knife grooves can also make thorough cleaning more difficult and allow bacteria to persist. You don’t need to panic or throw out every plastic board—but a deeply scratched, worn-out board shouldn’t be kept forever. Wood or stainless steel are good alternatives when they’re properly cleaned and dried. Check your chopping board today.
