This mix of layers (different materials) makes it a non-recyclable 7. this is a delamination and air has diffused in between the layers and the change of refractive properties makes it visible.
Look at an old plastic ketchup bottle (tomato sauce) and you may see a bubble in the layers. A layer of Saran (EVOH) is a good oxygen barrier (unless it becomes wet) while PCTFE is a good water barrier. That is, they select a combination of materials that provide the barrier properties they desire. The bubble is the region that will contain the product (when they inflate the bubble interior which is placed into the bottle forming cavity). Think of blowing a bubble with two or more thin layers of virgin material (without mixing the materials) so the materials lie against each other without air between them. Many times manufacturers make bottles from coextrusions of plastics (see. What are Arizona plastic gallon jugs made of? Update: Here are pics of an Arizona 1g jug: Searching this emblem and major bottle manufacturers I was unable to identify the maker and inquire that way. juice bottle, which is also #7 OTHER and has the same "G" in rectangle logo that appears on the Arizona bottle. I do not have a photo of the Arizona bottom handy, but here is a pic of another bottle, Whether there are added plasticizers such as BPA and BPS. I am most concerned what is the inner layer, what is its composition, and Ice tea comes in? Your FAQ page seems to imply it's a special grade of Below is the letterĬan you tell me the composition of your #7 bottle such as the gallon On, I wrote to, which was the inquiry address given at their Contact Us webpage. It feels and looks like PP, so my guess is it's #7 because of the (polystyrene?) label that is glued right on. Therefore the inner layer composition, safety and leaching become my concern. They're great bottles and would be nice to reuse for water storage and so forth. #7 means it doesn't fit in the plastic recyclable categories 1-6. I understand PP recyclable would be #5 triangle. The bottom is stamped PP COMPATIBLE and has a #7 OTHER RIC code. I wished to know the composition of Arizona 1gal plastic jugs that I have.
