Any specific plastic recommendations?

We are looking to change the plastic on a food storage container product. We have been using pure polypropylene and it is not durable at all. It seems fragile. We still want polypropylene but maybe a blend of some sort. Anyone have any specific plastic recommendation? We are trying to get a similar quality to tupperware. We want it to be sturdy and durable. Thanks.

Have you looked at polyethyene? It’s generally more flexible than polypropylene. I have an engineer friend who has experience with injection molded plastics. If you want I can give him a shout.
