I got into plastic free for a while now and it is hard. Even clothes are often not 100% made of what's advertised due to it being often sown using plastic threads. The only way to tell is to contact the company, check online or get a loose bit and burn it, since plastic melts instead of turning into ash.
Then in food containers even if you go with glass with bamboo or wood lids they still have a silicone bit around to seal it, and the wood/bamboo is often glued with toxic glue, so you also need to contact the company.
Shampoo, conditioner, exfoliants and some creams/lotions often contain plastic. Natural ingredients only and bars are the alternative.
Dishes sponges are made of plastic. Look into loofah plant sponges.
Shedding from containers occurs mainly due to heating, friction and acidic stuff.

Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile by
Anthony G. Jay is a good book that goes into some of this.
Just remember it's not a race. You'll go insane if you try hard to be perfect all the time.
