Convenient non-plastic solutions need to be developed. After learning about micro plastics and forever chemicals, I started to get paranoid of this stuff.

Make it easier for her by taking on the chores of washing them and preparing them. If you're insisting she do something differently, ask her if there is anything you could do to make it easier for her to do it -- since this is clearly a more important change for you than for her (at this time).

That's interesting. I have around 10-15 of those IKEA 365 glass containers with plastic lids and have never had them chip. I stick them in the dishwasher all the time.

I have had Lock&Lock ones, of almost exactly the same design, for about 10 years and they're only recently starting become significantly chipped, but I had an IKEA one get a small chip within months. Maybe it's how I stack then without lids (physically don't have cupboard space to store with lids on).

We threw away all our glass containers because they constantly chip. I'm more afraid of ingesting piece of sharp glass than nanoplastics. I don't know why that keeps happenning, I guess dishwasher's high heat damages the glass or they keep bumping into each other.

Get the expensive pyrex glass.

To my understanding, they can't be microwaved so it defeats the main purpose my wife uses plastic wrap for (wrapping rice balls / covering food and heating them up)
