Teach you to distinguish PET/PE plastic bottles

Both PET plastic bottles and PE plastic bottles are "popular". You can see their packaging everywhere, but you may not be able to distinguish them clearly in many cases. Here is a good way to make you no longer worry. Let's take a look together.

First, look at the transparency. Generally, PET plastic bottles have better transparency than PE.

Second, look at the mouth of the bottle. The inner wall of the PET bottle mouth is very neat and clean, and the thread should be obvious.

Third, look at the bottom, there is a dot on the bottom of the PET bottle, and there is a line on the bottom of the PE bottle.

Fourth, look at the numbers. There is a triangle at the bottom of the PET plastic bottle, and the number inside is "1" is the PET bottle. There are two types of PE, one is HDPE and the other is LDPE. The number inside the triangle at the bottom is "2". .

In addition, you can also rely on your senses to tell the difference. If you squeeze it with your hands, the loudest sound is PET. And the one that feels like wax is PE.

It can also be judged by common sense, common beverage bottles. The food bottles are all transparent PET plastic bottles. Medicines are mostly translucent or opaque PE bottles.
