| General comment | Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) is a strong, stiff synthetic fibre and resin, and a member of the polyester family of polymers. It is spun into fibres for permanent-press fabrics and blow-molded into disposable beverage bottles. PET is produced by the polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It is a clear, strong, and lightweight plastic widely used for packaging foods and beverages. PET was first created in the mid-1940s by DuPont chemists. |
