- Synopsis
- On this page, there are two symbols from the set of resin identity codes developed by the US Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) in 1988. They are intended to enable recyclers to sort plastic refuse easily for reprocessing. They are used internationally. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Each symbol consists of three clockwise chasing arrows arranged in a triangular shape with the point at the top. The triangle has a print character number inside and an abbreviation for the plastic type in upper case print characters down the page. The symbol for type 1 plastic is in the top left of the page. It is labelled PETE for Polyethylene terephthalate. The symbol for type 2 plastic is in the bottom right of the page. It is labelled HDPE for High-density polyethylene.
