Polyethylene terephthalate which is also abbreviated as PET / PETE is mainly used to manufacture the packaging material for food products such as fruit and drinks containers. It is lightweight, transparent and also available in some colour. It is a member of the ester family so also called as polyester.

PET plastic is solid and strong. It is virtually shatterproof and thus used as an alternative to glass. Polyethylene terephthalate is originally a thermoplastic, and it is decided by the way it reacts to heat. However, there are many variants of polyesters that are considered thermosets

Any plastic item not made from the above six plastics is lumped together as a seventh plastic, things like CD's baby bottles headlight leans.

This category is a mixed bag for other types of plastic that do not fall into any of the other six categories or are combinations of various types. We're including it because you may occasionally come across recycling code #7, so it's important to know what it means.

They are light in weight and are chemically stable.

Easily moulded into different shapes and sizes.

Good insulation and low thermal conductivity.

Good impact resistance and they do not rust.

Good transparency and wear resistance.

Poor dimensional stability and can be easily deformed. The two key categories of plastic are thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics (thermosets). Thermoplastic products have the ability to be continually softened, melted and reshaped/recycled.
