Maybe mirco plastic pollutants or anything you guys can think of? Getting it in a container would be an issue I could pump it maybe create a pond. Idk
I think you are right to have concerns about using plastic for many reasons. Short-term, it is probably less of a concern, but if it is out in the sun it will start to leach toxicity into your water. Ideally natural material is the way to go.
I'm no expert, but You might get more helpful advice if you can share your location or climate zone, and how much area you are using as the catchment and total area. Also telling us about your intended use for the water. Pictures are helpful too.
