Polyethylene bottles (most often made of PET) are used
for storing and transporting liquid and bulk products: drinking water, juices, milk, vegetable oil, household chemicals, motor oils, as well as for various household needs, such as irrigation systems, growing seedlings, and even temporary construction. They are popular because of their lightness, durability, low cost, and recyclability, but for long-term water storage, it is better to use higher-quality reusable bottles made of polycarbonate or polypropylene.
