he "1" inside a triangle in a plastic bottle indicates PETE or PET, which is Polyethylene Terephthalate. This symbol is normally found in soft drinks, beer and water bottles, ovenable food trays, salad dressing and vegetable oil containers, peanut butter containers, and mouthwash bottles.


As it is easy to recycle, lightweight and inexpensive, PET is used to produce single-use beverage bottles.


These bottles are commonly picked through curbside recycling programs in most countries. PET bottles can be recycled into new containers, straps, paneling, carpet, furniture, tote bags, fiber, and polar fleece.


It is commonly considered safe as it poses a low risk of leaching. But it allows bacteria to accumulate. Although there is a high demand for recycled PET the current recycling rate is only around 20 percent.
