A: PET stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate—it's a clear, durable plastic that we often see in cold beverage cups and food packaging.

Q: Are PET plastic cups recyclable?

A: Yes, PET (#1) plastic cups are recyclable, but whether they can be recycled locally depends on your community's programs.

Q: Are PET plastic cups BPA-free?

A: Yes! Industry guidance reassures us that BPA isn't used to make PET, so PET containers don't contain BPA.

Q: Can PET cups be used for hot drinks (coffee/tea)?
