5 Plastic Bottle Codes That Are Safe for Reuse

Many parents buy children's water bottles based on their appearance—bright colors, cute characters, or unique shapes. However, beyond the attractive design lies something far more important: the plastic code on the bottom of the bottle. This code determines whether the container is safe for repeated use or poses a risk of leaking harmful substances.

As a school supplies store that cares about safety, we at Easy Bitsy want to help parents make wiser product choices, not just based on appearance, but also on material and long-term safety.

5 Plastic Bottle Codes That Are Safe for Reuse

1. PET (1) – Safe But Disposable

This type is commonly used for bottled mineral water. While safe for single-use, PET bottles should not be reused as they can release chemicals when exposed to heat.

2. HDPE (2) – Strong and Temperature Resistant

HDPE is known for its resistance to heat and mild chemicals. It's widely used for baby bottles and children's food containers. It's safe for repeated use, as long as it's kept clean.

3. PP (5) – The Safest Material for Children

This is the superior ingredient used in many Easy Bitsy products . Polypropylene (PP) is heat resistant, lightweight, and BPA free , making it very safe for children's daily use.

4. Tritan (7 – BPA Free) – Transparent and Premium

Tritan is a modern version of BPA-free plastic. It has a clear, glass-like appearance, but is lightweight and impact-resistant. It's perfect for active children who frequently carry bottles to school or outdoor activities.

5. Stainless and Non-Plastic Alternatives

If you want more durability, stainless steel and glass may be the best options. They're odorless, don't absorb color, and can be used for years without worrying about harmful chemicals.

Safe Tips for Using Plastic Bottles Every Day

• Avoid storing hot water in plastic bottles unless they are made of PP or Tritan.
• Clean the bottle regularly with warm water and mild soap.
• Don't use bottles that are dull, cracked, or smelly.
• Make sure the label is “BPA Free” when purchasing.
• Replace the bottle every 3–6 months to maintain hygiene.

Conclusion: Choose Wisely, Be Healthy Every Day
