We have to figure out which of the big six, the big six types of plastic or polymers would be best suited for the individual conditions.
00:11
So for a, we have clear soda bottles.
00:14
If you were to look on the bottom of your soda bottle, you might see has a triangle with a number one in it.
00:21
This is p -e -t -e, or polyethylene tetravalent.
00:26
And if we look, we can see that indeed it is used for soft drink bottles in the table.
00:36
B, opaque laundry detergent bottles.
00:39
Here, you're gonna need something a little bit more rigid, maybe a little bit tougher, slightly more dense.
00:46
And if you were to look on most detergent bottles, you might see the number two, or h -d -p -e, high density polyethylene.
00:59
Now we have a shower curtain, clear and shiny shower curtains.
01:04
So this, most shower curtains are actually pvc, or polyvinyl chloride.
01:11
And indeed there comes two types, the harder, more rigid ones that you find for pipes and the softer, more flexible pvc that you get in garden hoses and shower curtains.
01:24
And here, shower curtains are listed on the table.
01:29
Now, carpet, that depends on the type of carpet and what you're gonna wanna use it for.
01:37
However, most plastic carpets are p -e -t, or p -e -t -e, basically polyethylene terephthalate.
01:49
Now, you can also use p -p, or the number five of the big six, polypropylene.
01:57
Again, it depends on which type of carpet that you are looking for.
02:05
Now, plastic bags for food...
