PET plastic

PET plastic, short for polyethylene terephthalate, is a type of durable, lightweight plastic commonly used for beverage bottles, food containers, and packaging. It is made from two main chemical ingredients that are combined through a process called polymerization, creating a strong, transparent material that resists impact and moisture. PET is valued for its clarity, safety, and recyclability; it can be collected, processed, and turned into new products. Its widespread use helps reduce waste and environmental impact when properly recycled, making it a versatile and sustainable packaging option.
