plastic bottle

Explanation:
In a non-technical context (e.g. where the molecular structure of the plastic is not so important), it would simply be a "plastic bottle".

-> "Welcome to Plastic Bottle Corporation's innovative source of technical information for the plastic bottle industry! We are producers of plastic bottles specializing in containers for the automotive, household chemical and cosmetic/personal care industries (to name just a few). [etc.]
http://www.plasticbottle.com/

-> "It is widely recognised that plastic bottle recycling can make a valuable contribution to sustainable waste management, however, recycling has developed slowly in the UK..."
http://www.wrap.org.uk/publications/plastic_bottle_recycling...

-> "Every year, millions of plastic bottles are collected in banks and via kerbside collection schemes throughout Hampshire for recycling ... There are many different types of plastics, so the plastic bottles have to be sorted by hand into their various types:

PET bottles - fizzy drinks
HDPE bottles - milk, fabric conditioner
PVC bottles - squash, mineral water"
