plastic bottles

Soda's common packaging

Plastic bottles are containers made from synthetic polymers, typically used for beverages, household cleaners, or personal care products.

The term often carries environmental connotations, since plastic bottles are a major source of pollution and recycling concern: The beach was littered with plastic bottles.

Water sold in plastic bottles is sometimes called bottled water, though glass bottles exist too.
