•PET stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and is mostly used for the manufacturing of plastic bottles for liquid or beverage consumption. 

•PET is also used for many disposable plastic containers that are also used for ready made or frozen foods. 

•PET is popular because it provides a sound oil barrier which helps with chemicals attacking the plastic. 

•PET can also be very clear plastic and can look like glass once set to its desired shape. 

•We use PET containers in our day to lives, whether it be making a sandwich or buying a bottled water from the store. PET is the type of plastic labeled with the #1 code on or near the bottom of bottles and containers and is commonly used to package soft drinks, water, juice, peanut butter, salad dressings and oil, cosmetics and household cleaners.

•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 is hygienic, strong, resistant to attack by micro-organisms, does not react with foods or beverages, and will not biologically degrade. Its safety for food and beverage use is recognized by health authorities around the world.

•But unlike glass, PET is extremely lightweight, simple to transport and won’t break, which is why it’s preferred for packaging many foods and beverages.
