This plastic is generally used for packaging foods and beverages, especially carbonated soft drinks, juices and water bottles. Its raw materials are ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. These are manufactured to form a polymer chain and then into PET resin pellets which can then be heated to a molten liquid. This allows the plastic to be extruded or molded into practically any shape.

PET can also be stretched thinly into a sheet to create PET film, which is used in video, photo and packaging applications.

It's high strength and the option of clear and a range of colours also makes it a popular packaging material for health, beauty and cleaning products. PET is also recognised by global health authorities in safety for food, beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical and medical applications.

Although PET's raw materials are derived from crude oil and natural gas it is a very energy efficient packaging material in comparison to glass, aluminum and other materials used for similar containers. It's strength to weight ratio allows more product to be delivered in less packaging therefore reducing fuel consumption for transport.

PET was officially synthesised back in the 1940s, but only became recyclable in 1977, four years after it became a common material for plastic bottles. Now, with 60% of household waste being recycled, PET is being seen less as a single use packaging option, and more of a staple within the circular economy.
