Amorphous PET or APET is used extensively for water and beverage bottles. It is also used for clear transparent packaging, such as clear plastic folded cartons. Used APET water bottles are recycled and sold as RPET (recycled) for salad and produce trays.

Is there a difference between PET and APET plastic?

There is no difference. PET is polyester, which has a chemical name of polyethylene terephtlalate. PET can be made with the polymers aligned in two primary ways; amorphous or crystalline. Virtually all of what you come in contact with is amorphous with one major exception; microwave food trays, which if made from PET are made from C-PET (crystallized PET). Virtually all clear PET including Mylar and water bottles are made from A-PET (amorphous PET). In many cases the "A" is simply left off.
