polypin

A polypin is a type of plastic container often used for packaging liquids, particularly beverages like beer, wine, and juices. These containers are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other food-grade plastics. Polypins are designed to be lightweight, durable, and stackable, making them suitable for storage and transportation. They often feature a screw-top lid or a spigot for dispensing the contents. The shape of a polypin can vary, but many are cylindrical or rectangular with rounded corners to optimize space. Their use is common in both commercial and homebrewing settings. The plastic construction offers an advantage over glass in terms of breakage resistance. Polypins are generally considered a single-use or limited-reuse item, though some may be designed for repeated cleaning and refilling. Their disposal and recycling depend on local waste management practices.
