01What it is made of
Five materials in the Copco range, and what each is for
Most storage that disappoints is a good material in the wrong spot. Bamboo in a damp under-sink cabinet swells; steel where a lid rattles is a percussion section. Copco uses five materials, and the table below is the shortest honest guide to which belongs where.
BPA-free plastic
The workhorse: turntables, risers, bins and the Acadia mug are moulded from it. Light enough to lift loaded, smooth enough to wipe in one pass, and it shrugs off the detergent air under a sink.
Tritan
The clear plastic in the Hydra and ClipGo bottles. It resists cracking when dropped and stays glass-clear through the dishwasher, which is why you can read the water level from across the room.
Bamboo
The warm option for open shelves and drawers: lazy susans, expandable trays, bag organizers. It likes dry rooms and a wipe rather than a soak.
Stainless steel
The grinder, the scoop, the shears and the double-wall mug. Steel goes where heat, an edge or a decade of daily use would tire anything softer.
Beechwood and bristle
The hand brush, the duster and the dustpan set. Wood handles, natural bristles, a leather loop to hang them by: the tools you leave in sight on purpose.
| Material | Where it belongs | How it cleans | Where it fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPA-free plastic | Cabinets, pantry, under the sink | Warm water and a cloth; most pieces take the dishwasher | Direct stove heat: it is storage, not cookware |
| Tritan | Bottles that travel and get dropped | Dishwasher safe | Boiling liquids: it is built for cold and warm, not a kettle |
| Bamboo | Open counters, drawers, dry pantries | Wipe with a damp cloth, dry at once | Standing water: a soak opens the grain |
| Stainless steel | Tools, grinders, double-wall mugs | Dishwasher for most; wipe the grinder | Nothing structural: it dents before it breaks |
| Beechwood | Brushes and dustpans on a hook | Shake out; wipe the wood | The dishwasher: heat and soak crack a wooden handle |
Nothing in Copco standards is asked to work in two places at once, which is why the material sits on the card next to the size.
