Plastic bottles were first used commercially in 1947.  But remained relatively expensive until the early 1960s when high-density polyethylene was introduced. They quickly became popular with both manufacturers and customers due to their lightweight nature.

Except for wine and beer, the food industry has almost completely replaced glass with plastic bottles. Karin Michaels,  suggests that toxins leaching from plastics might be related to disorders such as infertility and cancer in humans.In the USA  plastic water bottles are regulated by the FDA.

Which also inspects and samples bottled water plants periodically. Plastic water bottle plants hold a low priority for inspection due to a continuously good safety record. In the past, the FDA maintained that there was a lack of human data showing plastics pose health problems. However in January 2010, the FDA reversed its opinion saying they now have concerns about health risks. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
