Facts

PET plastics are safe and easily recognizable by the number "1" on water bottles. They’re a type of thermoplastic resin used in many ways, like making synthetic fibres, food containers, and thermoforming products.  

PET plastics were patented in 1941 by John Rex Whinfield and colleagues at the Calico Printers Association. Their effectiveness led to increased production. Nathaniel Wyeth, brother of the famous American painter Andrew Wyeth, patented the first PET bottle in 1973.

According to Todd Johnson, a science expert from the University of Colorado Boulder, PET plastics can be used for:

• Soda bottles, water bottles, peanut butter jars, and frozen food packaging. PET can withstand repeated use, which makes it suitable for recycling.
• Moulding specific shapes for cosmetics packaging. PET containers are also easy to seal.
• Storing household cleaners and other chemicals. Unlike glass, PET is unlikely to shatter and is inexpensive compared to other materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are PET Plastic Cups suitable for hot beverages?

No, PET plastic cups aren’t suitable for hot beverages. Due to its physical properties, PET is designed primarily for cold drinks. When exposed to high temperatures, PET can deform or leach chemicals, making it unsafe for hot liquids. For hot beverages, it's better to use containers specifically designed to withstand high temperatures, such as those made from polypropylene (PP) or paper designed for hot liquids.

Can PET Clear Plastic Cups be used in the microwave?

No, PET plastic cups shouldn’t be used in the microwave. PET can degrade and potentially release harmful chemicals when heated in a microwave. It's designed for cold or room-temperature beverages and can warp or melt under microwave heat. For microwaving, it's safer to use containers labelled explicitly as microwave-safe.

Can PET clear plastic cups be customized or printed?

Yes, PET plastic cups can be customized or printed. This customization can include logos, brand messages, or specific designs, which make them popular for businesses, events, and promotional activities. 

The printing process on PET cups usually involves high-quality, food-safe inks and techniques such as screen printing or digital printing to ensure the durability and clarity of the design without compromising the cup's integrity or safety for use.

Can PET Clear Plastic Cups be composted?

No, PET plastic cups can’t be composted. PET is a type of plastic that doesn’t biodegrade within a composting environment. It’s designed for recycling, not for breaking down in compost. To dispose of PET cups in an environmentally friendly way, it's best to recycle them where facilities exist that can process this type of plastic.
