Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET): This is the stuff found in most water
and soda bottles and may leach cancer-causing agents. Recycle, don’t
reuse it.
2 High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): One of the safest types of plastic, you’ll find HDPE in milk cartons, plastic bags and toys. Safe to reuse and recycle.
3 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Also known as vinyl, PVC is a toxic plastic found in packaging, shower curtains, furniture and some pet and children’s toys. Not suitable for reuse.
4 Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE): Common in dry cleaner bags, shrink wrap and plastic bags, LDPE is less toxic than many plastics and widely recyclable and reusable.
5 Polypropylene (PP): Taking the title of one of the safest plastics, you’ll find PP in disposable diapers, carpeting and yogurt container. Recycle and reuse it.
6 Polystyrene (PS): This is the stuff used to make cutlery and foam packaging and, unfortunately, it is known to leach into food. Avoid it when possible.
7 Typical Mixes: These plastics include LEXAN, polycarbonate and bis-phenol BPA. Best not to reuse, difficult to recycle.
