Cooking oil bottles should avoid incorrect secondary use

When it comes to the use of plastic bottles, one category that stands out is edible oil bottles, particularly those made from recycled green material. These 5-liter bottles are often transparent and come with a portable lid, making them convenient for multiple uses. Many people repurpose them to store wine, water, or even other liquids, which highlights their potential for reuse.

However, we have repeatedly emphasized that PET (polyethylene terephthalate) edible oil bottles are not ideal for repeated or long-term use due to the nature of the material. While they may seem practical at first, the chemical structure of PET can degrade over time, especially when exposed to heat or certain substances. This makes them less safe for repeated use compared to other types of containers. Therefore, the most effective recycling method for these bottles is similar to that of beverage bottles—either through proper recycling programs or by repurposing them as raw materials for new products.

Given that PET bottles are widely used in food packaging, it's crucial to raise consumer awareness about the potential risks associated with their repeated use. Educating the public on the dangers of reusing such bottles can help prevent misuse and promote safer alternatives. At the same time, improving PET recycling infrastructure is essential to ensure these bottles don’t end up in the wrong hands or get discarded improperly.

Moreover, it would be beneficial to include clear warnings on the packaging of edible oil bottles, along with thoughtful design changes that discourage repeated use. For example, adding visual cues or structural modifications could make it less appealing or more difficult to reuse the bottle. Such measures can play a significant role in promoting responsible usage and enhancing overall safety.
