Plastic soft drink bottles, ubiquitous in modern convenience, are typically made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) due to its lightweight, durable, and transparent properties. These bottles undergo a complex manufacturing process involving injection molding or stretch blow molding to achieve their iconic shape, which includes a neck for sealing with a cap or closure. The bottles are designed to withstand the pressure generated by carbonated drinks and are often recyclable, contributing to their sustainability. Their convenience and affordability have made them a popular choice for packaging soft drinks worldwide, though efforts to reduce plastic waste have led to increased interest in alternative materials and recycling initiatives.
