Plastic Codes



Plastic codes-(aka Resin identification codes)

The resin identification coding system is a set of symbols placed on plastics to identify the polymer type.
Most plastics can be recycled but they have to be sorted into their polymer type.


The plastic codes mean the type of plastic each item is made from. Those codes are not just there for fun but they are there to show you how to recycle that item. These codes are called resin codes.
