Inevitable?
Only if you leave powder setting in it for extended periods of time.
I always dump the powder back in the can when I finish a reloading session.
If you don't, the acid in the powder leaches into the plastic & turns it yellow, as you discovered.
I know of no good way to reverse the process, short of replacing the hopper.
I guess you could take it off and soak it in Clorox bleach and see if that does anything, but I have never tried it.
