There are 7 varying labels for plastics:

1 PET: Soft drink, juice and water containers.
2 HDPE: Plastic milk and water jugs.
3 PVC or V: Cling wrap, shrink wrap.
4 LDPE: Commonly used in grocery store bags and plastic wraps.
5 PP: Cloudier plastic containers such as baby bottles.
6 PS: Disposable cups and Styrofoam.
7 Other: Usually polycarbonate. Commonly used in most plastic baby bottles, clear plastic sippy cups and water bottles.
