One study has demonstrated possible harmful breakdown products of polycarbonate, but only under conditions of high temperature and harsh chemicals - e.g. a dishwasher.

I've been caving off & on for 30 years and I've never had to do a #2 while in the cave.
I do carry the fixin's for a cave burrito and I also carry a couple of Immodium AD tablets in case my bowels, or someone else's on the trip, starts acting up.
I have considered packing a Rest Stop Kit #2 but never got around to ordering it

Rinse of wash gently by hand and they're likely fine. I've used some of mine for more than 15 years.

As for pee bottles, I've found the wide-mouth Gatorade ones work great.
