What plastics cannot be autoclaved?

Plastics such as polystyrene, polyethylene, and PVC typically cannot be autoclaved, as they tend to melt, deform, or release harmful chemicals when exposed to high heat and pressurized steam. Always verify whether a plastic container or component is autoclave-safe before using steam sterilization.
