Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used in packaging, textile and industrial applications. In the packaging industry, PET is the main material for the production of plastic bottles for water, carbonated beverages, juices, vegetable oils and other liquids due to its lightness, strength and transparency. In the textile industry, PET is used for the manufacture of polyester fibers used in clothing, home textiles and industrial fabrics. PET is also used in thermoformed packaging, food trays and films. It is also used in engineering plastics for automotive parts, electronics, and 3D printing.
