All plastic that comes into contact with food and drink, eg, drink bottles, certainly in Western countries, has been thoroughly checked as safe.
Most drink bottles are made from PET (number 1 below). This is safe for repeated use. See the excellent link below which deals with many wild stories about plastic bottles.
The Resin ID number indicates which plastic has been used to manufacture the bottle.
- Plastic type number 1: will often have the initials PET. This stands for polyethylene terephthalate. This is most common of the disposable waterbottles.
- Number 2: High density polyethylene (HDPE), example milk jugs
- Number 3: Poly vinyl chloride (PVC)
- Number 4: Low density polyethylene (LDPE)
- Number 5: Polypropolene (PP)
- Number 6: Polystyrene (PS)
- Number 7: any sort of plastic that doesn't fit into the first six categories. One popular example are the hard (usually Nalgene) coloured bottles, made with bisphenol-A (BPA).
