PP is typically found in food boxes (Tupperware etc.) and many kinds of single-use packaging as a transparent or white plastic.
Shaping
As a thermoplastic, PP can be melted relatively easily, enabling you to penetrate it with a laser cutter. You should expect some fumes to settle as a milky film, but that can be wiped off afterwards.
Fretsaws do ’not' work well with a typical PP container.
