Basic knowledge about the materials of plastic products in daily life
Thread Content
I wonder if everyone has noticed, but in our daily lives we come into contact with many plastic products. For example, mineral water bottles, various beverage bottles, plastic bags, the thermos bottle essential at home, washbasins, and so on. . . . How can you tell at a glance what type of plastic this is made from? Industry professionals, please discuss among yourselves!
If it indicates what material is the easiest to recycle, the text will make that clear, haha~ Otherwise, you can rely on the recycling symbols (a triangle with an arrow and a number in the middle; for example, the number 1 indicates that the material is PET). Other than that, it’s probably hard to recognize the material at a glance. Generally, common sense is used to determine the approximate material of the container; for example, mineral water bottles are usually made of PET ； Plastic bags are generally made of PVC or LDPE, etc. Then, based on the feel and smell. If it can be damaged, burn it with fire.
Reply to 2# cnhustxp Thanks! Generally, I also identify the numbers inside the small triangle at the bottom of plastic products.
