What is PET Plastic?

Polyethylene terephthalate, known to most as PET, is the most used thermoplastic polymer. You’ve probably seen the recycle triangle with the number 1 on many beverages and food containers, but that’s only the beginning of PET. If its scientific name or abbreviation doesn’t ring a bell, polyester might. The material is known to make most clothing and other furnishings articles. However, it starts as a clear, strong, and lightweight plastic.

PET has been around since the 1940s when chemists experimented with polymers to create textiles. The plastic’s popularity grew through the 1950s when researchers found a way to stretch PET into a thin sheet, this form being used mainly for video, photo, and packaging films. When the technology for blow-stretch molding was developed in the early 1970s, PET found a new form and its most notable use, PET bottles. Patented in 1973, PET bottles, compared to its container-predecessors (glass bottles, steel, and aluminum cans), were lightweight, safe, cheap, and recyclable.
