do you know? Plastic is a surprisingly versatile material with elemental origin.

The elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, are the cornerstones of various plastics used to make many products we use every day. Some plastics are transparent and durable, and can be used to make glasses or goggles. Other plastics are strong and light, allowing us to ship more products in fewer packages. Plastics can even be antibacterial and are used in food packaging and life-saving medical equipment.

You don't need to be a scientist to understand the many uses of plastics.
For various reasons, plastics are used in many types of food packaging and containers-they help protect food from damage, provide food safety, and extend the freshness of food.

What are the different types of plastics used in Food Packaging Bottle?
You may have seen the numbers 1 to 7 on the bottom or side of the plastic packaging container. This number is the plastic's "resin identification code", also known as the "recycling number". This number can also provide guidance for consumers who want to recycle plastic containers.

Many of the main types of plastic resins (#1 to #7) used in packaging are recyclable. In most cases, community recycling programs collect plastic bottles made of PET (#1) and HDPE (#2), but many communities are expanding their programs to collect other types of plastic. Although most communities will instruct residents to recycle based on the shape of objects (such as bottles, containers, lids, and lids), some communities also refer to resin identification codes. If you have questions about which plastics your community recycles, please refer to the 2015-2016 recycling study and check with your local recycling or solid waste facility. It is very convenient to search online.

How do we know that the plastic used in food packaging is safe and non-toxic?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the safety of all plastics currently used in food packaging and food contact materials. The list of these approved substances can be found in the FDA's database.

What do the numbers on the plastic mean?
The resin identification code or recycling number on the plastic can identify the type of plastic. Below are more information and examples of the most commonly used plastics in food packaging provided by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and the Plastics Industry Association (PIA), as well as safety information from the FDA.
