Why use PET – Vivant supports Recycling
Vivant Pure Water uses PET because it is 100% recyclable and therefore environmental friendly. Vivant Pure Water also uses PET plastic because of its strength, durability, thermo-stability, transparency and weight.
Bottled products, such as water, sports drinks, juices, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks etc are very common in most countries. PET plastic (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) is used to make containers for such beverages. All these beverage containers “plastic-bottles” are rated with a grading number, indicating the material that has been used. The grading range from a number 1 to a number 7. PET is labelled with a number #1 which indicates that it’s recyclable. This distinctive recycling logo is stamped onto the bottom of these products.
