how is PET different from other plastic types

There’s no denying that plastic plays a significant role in the manufacturing and packaging industry. Its versatility enables it to be moulded into different shapes and sizes, alongside many other useful properties. 

However, as the world continues to take action against the global environmental impact of plastic, many companies are revising their operations to implement sustainable practices. At Petainer, we provide innovative packaging solutions that are specifically designed to fit into the circular economy. Our products are designed to be recycled, to reduce waste leaking into the environment. 

PET plastic is a sustainable packaging option and the leading type of plastic used for beverage bottles, owing to its excellent chemical resistance to organic materials and water, and high strength to weight ratio. Here we’re going to explore what exactly PET bottles are, assess their benefits, and compare them to other plastic types.
