2. HDPE (high density polyethylene) label in the form of number 2 in the regular triangles used to white milk bottle milk. Recommended only for a single use.
3. V or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) label in the form of number 3 in a triangle is the most difficult plastic recycling. This plastic can be found in plastic wrap (cling wrap), and bottles. The content of PVC that contained DEHA in plastic wrap and can leak into the greasy food when heated. PVC potentially harmful to the kidneys, liver and body weight.
4. LDPE (low density polyethylene) labels such as number 4 in the regular triangle is used to place food and bottles were mushy. With coded items can be recycled and good for items that require flexibility but strong. Is arguably the goods can not be destroyed but still good for food.
5. PP (polypropylene) label such as number 5 in the triangle is the best choice for plastic materials, especially for dealing with food and beverage as a place to store food, drink bottles and foremost drink bottles for babies. Characteristics of these bottles are not transparent clear or cloudy.

Here we will discuss more about the plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PETE or PET) and possible dangers. According to the American Chemistry Council, PETE has been declared safe by the FDA and the International Life Science Institute (ILSI). However, the American Chemistry Council warned that products made from PET only be used disposable.

Studies conducted recently showed that the re-use bottles made from PET turns dangerous. It was found that PET will be shed over time and seep into the drink when the bottle was in use again. Toxin called DEHA is proven to cause problems in the liver, endoktrin gland disorders, difficulty to obtain offspring, and is suspected to cause cancer in humans. Therefore, it is best to recycle these bottles, do not use it repeatedly.
