Are there any plastics or non-plastics that can replace PET plastic?

In: Chemistry, Waste and Recycling [Edit categories]

Answer:

Depends on what you're trying to do with it. If trying to replace PET in packaging, there are other clear plastic options like PVC, SAN or Acrylic. You can also try HDPE or PP in natural to give it a semi milky/transparent appearance. If looking for a sustainable option, try PET PCR (post consumer regrind/recycled) or PLA.
