Plastic Bottles
A type of bottle or a plastic container intended for single use that has a neck smaller than
the container with a closure and has a capacity of sixteen fluid ounces (16 oz.) to less than five (5)
The years after World War II is the first availability of the plastic bottle in commercial
which costs relatively expensive. The cost of manufacturing plastics has dropped while the
production of it increased as the industry expanded in the 1960s because of its advantages such as
being lightweight, cheap, easy to shape, and hard to break. Every liquid product became available
in a plastic bottle and water is the most ubiquitous plastic bottled item from 1970s through 1990s.
Less than 25% of all the plastic bottles nationwide were recycled [2].

Saad et al. (2017) build a fetch and spin’s machine capable of processing plastic bottles into
new plastic products which is straps and rope. They found out that the Polyethylene Terephthalate
(PET) bottle plastic have high strength characteristic where Revive bottle got 22.38 N/mm2,
Mountain Dew bottle got 18.72 N/mm2, Coca cola bottle got 19.57 N/mm2, and 100 Plus bottle
only got 11.27 N/mm2 which indicates that PET rope is almost as strong as the rope at the market
Tachwali (2005) presents an Automatic Plastic Bottle Sorting and Classification System for
recycling which the sorting is based on bottle material chemical composition using near infrared
spectrometer as well as on the bottle color using charged coupled device (CCD) camera. These
tests performed to evaluate the proper NIR spectrometer hardware setup for the automatic plastic
bottle sorting project. The final outcome of the research is a plastic recycling station that can sort
and classify plastic bottles based on their chemical composition and color.
