What are the benefits of PET plastic for Bottled Water?

Since the PET plastic bottle was first patented in 1973 it has only grown in popularity each year. With the growth of the bottled water industry the PET bottle has become the container of choice for single serve bottled water. As a strong, Transparent plastic packaging that stores easily and safely, PET plastic provides an excellent container for water. Contrary to some rumors, PET bottles can be re-used and refilled.

As an inert plastic PET does not leach harmful materials into its contents -- either when a beverage is stored unopened, or when bottles are refilled or frozen. One note of caution is that opened bottles can harbor bacteria, just like mugs, glasses or any other beverage container. However, PET bottles are no more likely to foster bacteria than any other packaging or drink container and can be re-used provided they are properly cleaned and sterilized.

Thanks to PET plastic a new option for 5 gallon bottles is emerging in the bottled water marketplace. Bottled water delivery companies are now beginning to carry BPA-free bottle options including PET 5 gallon bottles. PET plastic is completely BPA-free yet still provides the same durability and ease of use as polycarbonate plastic.
