I would like to see more plastic frames that can take heat, as this is the easiest way to frame cleaning / sterilization. 

My friend here in Finland had used for 15 years plastic frames made from a material that can take heat more than + 100 C . I tried them myself and he has it right. I melted the wax from his used frames with steam and boiled the frames in lye for 10 minutes. After pressure washing the frames were perfectly clean and looked like new. 

This kind of plastc is more expensive, but I think worth the price. The frames are now made here and the price is 2 euro / frame ( Langstroth) including the vatt tax ( 22%)
