Plastic sub jars PC safe?

Any idea if plastic containers or tubs (tupperware) are OK for sterilizing sub prior to innoc?
Seems like they are cheap and much easier to come by than jars. Then again, my local store sells glass cups for about 70 cents each. But I like the idea of having a grow container that is rectangular in shape as opposed to cylinder shaped.

Hmmmm PP5 seem to be hard to come by.
I'm sure they are around, but I can't find containers advertised as PP5, they are probably just generic 'heat safe' containers or some sort of BS like that. So it's a bit risky PCing something that doesn't explicity say PP5 on it.
Guess I will stick to the tried and tested glass method.

PP5 isn't really a think per-se
PP is polypropylene and 5 is a recycling code.

If the container has one of those on it your good to go.

ziploc tupperware is pp5, almost anything in the food container isle is most likely pp5, because the companies that make these things expect you to stick them in the microwave and/or dishwasher. food containers that are not microwavable are apet and ps, they will most likely not be in those isles as apet is used mainly for it's clarity ie. cookies and cake lids that are sold in bakeries. and polystyrene is not very common in food containers; in fact i think the only thing i've seen that was ps were some really cheap mixing bowls i picked up at target.
