Facts

Glycol and terephthalic acid polymerize to form PET, a solid thermoplastic polymer. It is known for its excellent clarity, making it one of the preferred materials for food-grade containers. It is also highly impact-resistant and less prone to cracking than other plastics.

• PET is one of the most recyclable plastics globally, identifiable by the #1 recycling symbol. 
• When appropriately recycled, it can be reused to produce new packaging materials, fibres, and textiles.
• This contributes to a circular economy and has a lower environmental impact than non-recyclable single-use plastics.

PET has a temperature range suitable for cold beverage applications. It can withstand -40°C for frozen drinks, but it deforms above 70°C and is unsuitable for hot liquids.

Food-Safe and BPA-Free

PET is BPA-free, ensuring no harmful chemicals leach into beverages and maintaining the safety and purity of consumables. It has also been approved by regulatory agencies like the FDA and EFSA for food and beverage packaging use.
