Polyethylene Terephthalate PET Polyethylene Terephthalate A clear, tough, polymer with exceptional gas and moisture barrier properties. PET’s ability to contain carbon dioxide (carbonation) make it a good choice in soft drink bottles.

High Density Polyethylene HDPE High Density Polyethylene Used in milk, juice and water containers in order to take advantage of its protective barrier properties Its chemical resistance properties make it a good choice as container for household chemicals and detergents.

Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC Excellent clarity, puncture resistance and cling Film vinyl can breathe, making it ideal for meats

Low density polyethylene LDPE Low density polyethylene Makes bottles that requires flexibility Produces grocery bags and garbage bags, shrink and stretch film and the coating for milk cartons

PP Polypropylene High tensile strength, ideal for caps and lids with threaded openings High melting point so can be hot-filled with products that then will cool Also used for products that need to be incubated, such as yogurt

PS Polystyrene In its crystalline form, it is a colorless plastic plastic that can be clear and hard. It can also be foamed to provide exceptional insulation properties. Foamed or expanded polystyrene (EPS) is used for products such as meat trays, egg cartons and coffee cups. It is also used for packaging and protecting appliances, electronics and other sensitive products

What kinds of products are made with recycled plastics? Recycled PET can be used in producing deli and bakery trays, carpets, clothing and textiles.

What kinds of products are made with recycled plastics? Recycled HDPE can become bottles for laundry products, recycling bins, agricultural, pipe, bags, motor oil bottles, decking and pilings.

What kinds of products are made with recycled plastics? Recycled vinyl can become playground equipment, film and air bubble cushioning.

What kinds of products are made with recycled plastics? Recycled LDPE can be used to manufacture bags, shrink film and compost bins.

What kinds of products are made with recycled plastics? Recycled PP can be used in automobile parts, carpets, battery casings, textiles, industrial fibers and films used for packaging products such as candy.

What kinds of products are made with recycled plastics? Recycled PS can be used in products including office accessories, video cassettes and cases.
