THE NUMBER TELLS YA THE CHEMICAL MAKE UP OF THE PLASTIC...

1) Polyethylene terephalate (PET)

2) High density polyethylene (HDPE)


3) Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) or Plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PPVC)


4) Low density polyethylene LDPE


5) Polypropylene (PP)


6) Polystyrene (PS) or Expandable polystyrene (EPS)


7) Other, including nylon and acrylic.


What ya aren't told is that many of the plastics used are toxic and the chemicals used to create a plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food / drink.Think about it, how many times have ya or a friend said "I don't like this, it taste like the plastic bottle...
