With respect to microplastics and nanoplastics, this study explored the mobilization of plastics when heating up foods in plastic containers (a few months ago) [0].
I was also surprised to see the pasteurization occur in the plastic container and after researching this a bit, it seems like it is the industry standard. I guess a good thesis topic would be seeing if there was a difference in micro/nanoplastics present in pasteurized vs unpasteurized tofu.
