Common plastics and uses
- Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) – Carbonated drink bottles, peanut butter jars, fibers/textiles, plastic film, microwavable packaging. Also generically called "polyester".
- Polyethylene (PE) – Wide range of inexpensive uses including supermarket bags, and plastic bottles.
- Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) – Outdoor furniture, siding, floor tiles, shower curtains, clamshell packaging.
- High-density polyethylene (HDPE) – Detergent bottles, milk jugs, and molded plastic cases.
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) – Plumbing pipes and guttering, shower curtains, window frames, flooring, electrical cable insulation
- Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) (Saran) – Food packaging.
- Polypropylene (PP) – Bottle caps, drinking straws, yogurt containers, appliances, car fenders (bumpers), plastic pressure pipe systems.
