PET-1

[1]

PET (1) plastic is the most widely recycled of all the plastic polymers and is often used in clear plastic bottles[2] such as in plastic drinks and water bottles, fizzy drinks bottles, mouthwash bottles, shampoo, liquid hand soap and window cleaner bottles for instance[2]. It is also abbreviated to PETE. It is a clear, strong and light weight plastic that is widely used for packaging foods and beverages. Special grades of PET (1) are used for carry home take-away food containers and prepared food trays that can be warmed in the oven or microwave[3].

PET (1) can be recycled into polyester fabric and filling for fleeces, carpets and cushion fillings[2].
