[QUOTE="GreatWalrus, post: 1363891, member: 35925"]Yeah, mine are definitely polyethylene or polypropylene. Another neat test is to see to cut a bit of the film off and put it in water and see if it floats. If it floats, then it's either polyethylene or polypropylene. If it doesn't float, you can try burning it (but if it's PVC, beware of toxic fumes). If it doesn't drip when burned and has a green-outlined flame, it's probably PVC.
