Pros and cons of the most popular types of plastic bottles
The lightweight plastic bottles make them easy to carry along when going out. But if consumers don't know how to choose a quality product, it could turn out to be harmful for users. Doctors often advise that we should only use high-grade plastic bottles to avoid the risk of cancer. The following article will give some suggestions to help readers better understand different types of plastic bottles.
Types of plastic bottles
Single-use plastic bottles
Plastic bottles that should only be used once are usually made of PET or PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate - No. 1 symbol on the bottom of the bottle).
This plastic is used to make the shells of bottled drinking water, mouthwash, shampoo, shower gel, etc.
Transparent PET plastic can withstand low temperatures, so we can easily put this bottle in the refrigerator, in both the cooler or the freezer.
Although quite safe when in contact with food, PET plastic is less durable and unsafe to reuse, easily damaged when subjected to heat, and easily scratched, causing the accumulation of pathogens and bacteria.
Consumers should use PET water bottles just once and refrain from reusing them for health protection.
Reusable plastic bottles
Reusable plastic bottles are made of the following materials:
- Plastic No. 5
Plastic No. 5, also known as PP or Polypropylene, is a material specialized for making food containers, coffee cups, mugs, or water bottles.
This plastic is safe and can withstand heat of up to 167 degrees Celsius, so users can put them in the microwave to reheat food.
PP plastic can be reused many times while still ensuring health safety, but after a long use, while still ensuring, especially when the bottles show signs of discoloration or scratches.
- Plastic No. 7
The most common No. 7 resins are PC and Tritan resins.
PC plastic has previously been controversial because it contains BPA, which affects consumer health. However, in 2014, a report from the FDA concluded that BPA might be safe at the currently allowed levels.
Tritan plastic is a safe, BPA-free plastic, so it is often used to make sports water bottles.
When choosing a #7 plastic bottle, users should take those that say "BPA free" with a safety certificate from the Ministry of Health.
