PET Plastic Bottles with their lids on.

PET is a very common plastic throughout the world. It is found in most stores and supermarkets as it is used in a wide variety of products such as soft drinks, water bottles and rehydration drinks.

However, PET is highly polluting due to its resistance to biodegradation, taking up to 1,000 years to decompose.
