What does the number at the bottom of the plastic bottle mean?

August 25, 2018

"The number is so small that it can't be seen clearly without looking carefully, and it is too professional. If the number has meaning, why can't it be marked in a conspicuous place." In the interview, a citizen said that although the meaning of the number is not known, the figure It has meaning, why can't it be clearly shown on the bottle, so that consumers can be more clear.


Code 1 stands for PET (polyester) mainly used in mineral water bottles and carbonated beverage bottles. This material is heat resistant to 70 ° C. It is only suitable for warm drinks or frozen drinks. It is easy to deform when it is filled with high temperature liquid or heated, and it has a harmful substance. Moreover, the scientists found that after 10 months of Plastic Products, the carcinogen DEHP may be released.


Therefore, if the beverage bottle is used up, it will be discarded. Do not use it as a water cup, or use it as a storage container to carry other items, so as not to cause health problems.


Code 2 stands for HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), which is generally used for cleaning products and bath products. This material can be reused after careful cleaning, but these containers are usually not easy to clean, leaving the original cleaning products and turning into a hotbed of bacteria, so it is best not to recycle.


Code 3 stands for PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and is used in some decorative materials. This kind of material is prone to harmful substances when it is hot, and even it will be released during the manufacturing process. When toxic substances enter the human body with food, it may cause diseases such as breast cancer and birth defects. Currently, containers of this material have been used less for packaging foods. If you are using it, don't let it get hot.


Code 4 represents LDPE (low density polyethylene) cling film, plastic film is made of this material.


The heat resistance is not strong. Generally, the qualified PE cling film will have a hot melt phenomenon when the temperature exceeds 110 °C, leaving some plastic preparations that cannot be decomposed by the human body. Moreover, the food wrapped in plastic wrap is heated, and the fat in the food can easily dissolve the harmful substances in the wrap film. Therefore, when the food is placed in the microwave oven, the wrapped plastic wrap is first removed.


Code 5 stands for PP (Polypropylene) because it is resistant to temperatures above 100 °C and is often used in microwave ovens. This lunch box can be placed in a microwave oven or reused after careful cleaning. Need special attention, some microwave lunch boxes, the box is indeed made of No. 5 PP, but the cover is made of No. 1 PE, because PE can not withstand high temperature, it can not be put into the microwave together with the box. To be on the safe side, remove the lid before placing the container in the microwave oven.


Code 6 stands for PS (polystyrene). This material is heat resistant at 60 ° C to 70 ° C. The hot beverage produces toxins that release styrene when burned. It is usually made into a bowl of instant noodles and a snack box. Can not be placed in the microwave to avoid release of chemicals due to excessive temperature. Therefore, try to avoid using hot food boxes to pack hot food.


Code 7 stands for Other (Other Plastics) This is a material that is used in large quantities and is often used to make kettles, cups, and bottles. Especially used in baby bottles, because it contains bisphenol A and is controversial. Since June 1, 2011, China has banned the production and import of bisphenol A for infant food containers (such as milk bottles). Since September 1, 2011, the sale of infant food containers containing bisphenol A has been banned.
