Plastic bottles can be recycled into numerous different products, everything from carpet to jeans to other plastic bottles making them an environmentally friendly packaging.
Most plastic bottles are made from HDPE resin, as it provides a bottle that is economical, impact resistant and has a good moisture barrier. HDPE can be used with numerous products including acids and caustics but should never be used with solvents. HDPE offers good protection at temperatures below freezing but is not compatible with products filled at over 160°F or with any products that requires a vacuum seal. HDPE is naturally translucent and works very well with silk screen decoration. When adding color to HDPE it will become opaque but not glossy.
PET bottles are most commonly used for carbonated beverages, water and other food products. PET provides a good barrier for alcohol and essential oils and is generally resistant to chemicals. Exceptions to this include acetone and ketones, which will attack PET. PET is not resistant to high temperatures making hot fill not possible. PET bottles come in a large variety of shapes including:
- Boston round
- Bullet
- Rocket
- Cylinder
- Shoulder round
- Soft shoulder round
- Oblong
- Hand grip
- Flat
- F-Style handle
- Modern round
