Bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate can be used to make lower grade products, such as carpets. To make a food grade plastic, the bottles need to be hydrolysed down to monomers, which are purified and then re-polymerised to make new PET.

Key Properties of ABS:
* High rigidity.
* Good impact resistance, even at low temperatures.
* Good insulating properties.
* Good weldability.
* Good abrasion and strain resistance.
* High dimensional stability (Mechanically strong and stable over time)
* High surface brightness and excellent surface aspect.
