Polypropylene (PP) is a type of plastic with a high resistance level to heat. It is also incredibly resistant to fatigue. Watch how Captain Polypro and P-E-T Man stack up when submerged in boiling boiling water.

LDPE is marked with the resin identification code of 4. LDPE is flexible, tough, and almost unbreakable. It's perfect for products that need a good squeeze like mustard, honey, eye drops and more.

High density polyethylene, or HDPE for short, is one of the most pervasive plastic types. It has an excellent resistance to chemicals, making it the go-to plastic for detergents and cleaners.

PET is marked with the resin code of 1. PET is everywhere and in the textile industry is known as ... polyester. PET is safe for food contact products and you'll be amazed at what gets packaged in PET plastic.

We couldn't resist ... while filming for our PET video, we tested dropping a PET jar of peanut butter from a forklift at varying heights. "PET has a high impact capability and shatter resistance level." True, but it does have a limit.

EZ Stor Pails are ... well, easy. And convenient. They take up less space than comparable round pails and actually hold more. You can fit more of them into less space.
