What are PET or PETE Plastic Bottles and their common uses?
P.E.T. or P.E.T.E bottles are frequently used for plastic carbonated beverage and water bottles.
PET is an acronym for polyethylene terephthalate, a plastic resin and a type of polyester.
Manufacturers use PET plastic to package products because of its strength, thermo-stability and
transparency. Customers choose PET because it is inexpensive, lightweight, resealable,
shatter-resistant and recyclable. PET bottles are labeled with a resin identification code #1 PETE imprinted on or near the side or bottom of the container.
