PET Resin Fact Sheet

About PET Resin

Take a look inside your kitchen pantry, your refrigerator or your local grocery store and chances are you’ll see examples of PET resin – or at least, the application of PET resin. The polymer's purity, strength, transparency, lightweight and safe attributes make it one of the leading materials for bottling and packaging today.

PET is the abbreviation for Polyethylene Terephthalate, a polymer (a material of similar molecular units joined together into a long chain) used in the manufacturing of packaging for items such as carbonated soft drinks, mineral waters, juices, personal care products, prepackaged food, and more.
