what is pet bottle

A PET bottle is a type of plastic bottle made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) . PET bottles are commonly used to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, motor oil, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, milk, and ink. PET provides very good alcohol and essential oil barrier properties, generally good chemical resistance, and a high degree of impact resistance and tensile strength. PET bottles are 100% recyclable and can be melted down and spun into fibers for fibrefill or carpets. PET bottles are also repurposed for various uses, including for use in school projects, and for use in solar water disinfection in developing nations, in which empty PET bottles are filled with water and left in the sun to allow disinfection by ultraviolet radiation. PET bottles are a popular choice for packaging soft drinks due to the numerous benefits they provide both to manufacturers and consumers. PET is a transparent type of plastic with a gloss finish and is lighter, durable, and a more cost-effective option than glass.
