Most single-use bottles are made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate). It’s lightweight, shatterproof, and super recyclable—but it’s not meant for forever. Think of it like a paper plate: great for one picnic, not a lifetime.
Then there’s HDPE (high-density polyethylene), the tough stuff of milk jugs and some reusable bottles. It’s durable, chemical-resistant, and feels like a workhorse in disguise. Ever dropped a HDPE bottle? It bounces. No drama.
And for the flexible squeeze bottles? That’s LDPE (low-density polyethylene). Perfect for a camp trip—it’s like the yoga pants of plastics: bendy, forgiving, and always ready for action. But hey, plastics aren’t the only players on the field.
