Go buy a set of Tupperware. Yes they are plastic, but the set I have I got from my Mother. She bought it back in the 1970s. And one of my Grand kids will still be using them after me and Grandma are long gone. That's a pretty good use of plastic.
The large one I have will hold 5lbs of flour without issue, the next size down will hold 3lbs of sugar easily, then next size smaller yet a bag of brown sugar. Now my Grandmother, she bought flour by the 20lbs bag. And she had a wooden box in her pantry that she stored the whole bag in. She baked a LOT of bread and other baked goods nearly every day.
Dude...stop using 40 year old plastic Tupperware. That shit probably has some unsafe chemicals in it.
You got proof?
Why not just buy some glass containers. I have a few cheap ones that each fit about 1kg of flour. And I don't have to worry about any microplastics.
I mean you probably still need to worry about micro plastics. A glass container of flour is not a magic talisman .... Or is it?
If you take it to your local wizard for enchantment. I enchant mine myself though. Much cheaper.
Buy them if you want. Glass is fine to use. But I think the lids might not be as air tight as a Tupperware lid is.
Well they do have a rubber seal. And I have not had any issues with moisture.
Bro I really hope you're not using these

yummy arsenic
Sounds great, doesn't it?
I bake a lot so I have a plastic bin with wheels on it that can hold 50 pounds of flour.
Still comes in paper bags, though.
There's a thing where I am where you can buy stuff in bulk by going to the front till and weighing the container and writing the weight of the empty container on the bottom so you just directly fill your stuff. They usually are independent eco grocery stores but they are pretty awesome. Probably not up to filling 50lbs at a shot but good for your regular home baker.
