Plastic Bottles

I have found quite a few bottles around my house to be different plastics. The most common is HDPE (High Density Polyethlene). It is on a Dove Soap bottle. This plastic seems to be very strong.

LDPE

I have also found LDPE, and I am guessing it is Low Density Polyethlene. It seems to be somewhat weaker (that explains the low density), and it is a L'oreal Kids Bottle.

How do you actually determine the type of plastic?

If you look on the bottom of the bottle, it will tell you.
