- 2. PET or polyethylene terephthalate is a type of polyester that is used to make several items like bottles, jars, combs, bean bags and rope. It is widely used for packaging of beverages, detergents, edible oil, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and more. It is also used for the manufacture of paper. It is shatter-proof, economical, non-reactive, clear, strong and lightweight plastic that is fully recyclable. Thus, it be used to make tote bags, carpets, fiberfill material in winter clothing etc. In order to make food grade plastic, it has to be hydrolysed to monomers that are purified and then re-polymerised. The recycling can be carried out either by chemically breaking down the components or thoroughly washing and remelting. It does not react with food and is a very strong and inert material. It is resistant to micro-organisms and does not get degraded. It is for this reason that it is the preferred material for packaging of food and beverages. © Fiberpartner.com. All Rights Reserved.

PET is approved by various health and safety organisations like FDA to be safe for contact with food and beverages. Also, it does not contain bisphenol-A(BPA) or phthalates (phthalate ester plasticisers) as PET is a high molecular weight polyester made from terephthalic acid. It is easy to identify that something is made of PET by checking if it has a recycling symbol. The resin identification code for PET is 1 which is also usually added on the product's exterior. © Fiberpartner.com. All Rights Reserved.
