For example, the number 1 stands for: pet. This kind of plastic is generally used to make beverage bottles, such as mineral water bottles and beverage bottles. The temperature resistance of this plastic is only 70 degrees, so you can't put hot water when you use it, only cold water or water with very low temperature. If the temperature is too high, it will release substances that are not good for your health.
