Plastic, plastic everywhere…

Most municipalities tell you what kind of plastics they accept by number, e.g., PET#1 or HDPE plastic#2. You’re probably familiar with the symbols on the bottles you recycle, but did you know that this coding convention (which identifies resin content and doesn’t relate to ease of recycling) was introduced in 1988 by the Society of the Plastics Industry to meet recyclers’ needs while giving manufacturers a consistent identification system. Confused about what the numbers and symbols mean? Check out Plastics 101 to make sense of the different symbols and types.
