Even thick ones may not be flat. You can spin them to see if they are convex and pour something in them to see if they are concave.

It's more about the environmental damage. Plus fumes from non-stick pans can kill birds, so they're not entirely harmless.

I do use a non-stick pan, but only for eggs.

Modern linen sheets wear out fast. What you can do is use the top sheet for a bottom sheet like people used to do before there were fitted sheets.
Then when the bottom sheet wore out in the middle, they would cut the sheet in half length-wise and sew the good outside edges together in the middle and trim the worn part on the sides and re-hem them.

Textiles are relatively cheap these days, so people don't even know about tricks like this.
What I do is use linen top sheets only to get the benefit of linen while still enjoying smooth percale bottom sheets and pillowcases. Ditto for flannel in the winter. I really do not like flannel or linen pillowcases at all.

If you look at the teeth on those disposable plastic grinders, you can see that they get worn down so bits of plastic are getting in your food.

25 gallon squat nursery containers similar to this will last your entire life, at least:

The rim makes them easy to carry and some have actual handles molded in.
You could probably buy new ones from a nursery for $20.
