Another reason many countries are prohibiting single-use plastics is because they shouldn't be reused, despite our best intentions. As many municipalities forego recycling, it's tempting to take matters into your own hands by reusing (and therefore "recycling") plastic bottles and containers. Sure...
Polyethylene terephthalate, variously known as PETE and PET, is a resin belonging to the polyester family. It is perhaps most famous for its role in the fabrication of clothing and textiles, but it also figures strongly in a number of other everyday items like food and drinks containers. It...
Recyclable:PET is a recyclable material, and recycling programs are available for PET products, such as bottles and food containers. Cost-effective:PET is a relatively low-cost plastic compared to other engineering plastics, making it an economical choice for many applications. PET is used in many...
In the realm of transparent plastics, PET and PETG hold unique positions. Although their names differ by only a single letter, their properties and application areas are vastly different. These significant differences mean that each plays a distinct role in meeting various industrial requirements and...
Plasticisers are added to polymers for the manufacturing of plastics. Plasticisers are mostly used in PVC, but a significant amount of plasticisers is also used in polymers like acrylics, polypropylene or polypropene (PP), polyethylene or polythene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and pol...
PLA has been in use for almost a century, but in more recent years has been heralded as a solution to single-use plastics, specifically PET which is used for products such as disposable cups. However, PLA might not be the wonder-solution that some people are pitching it as. Let’s take...

PP plastics are coded with the resin identification code number "5" inside the universal recycling symbol.PP Packaging At The Plastic Bottles Company, most of our caps are made in PP. It can be used to make incredibly thin pieces of plastic that undergo high levels of physical stress, like...
PET plastics are a mature commodity, with years of production fine-tuning behind it. Bioplastics advocates argue that, in time, PLA costs will go down, all while petroleum-based plastics costs continue to fluctuate due to unstable production regions and dwindling resources. Explore the links on ...
A silicone compound is made up of a hydrophobic particle dispersed in silicone oil, which produces a foam control used in a great variety of applications.
