- 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 symbol for type 7 plastic is in the top left of the page. It has a print number 7 inside. It is labelled OTHER for other plastics, including acrylic, fiberglass, nylon, polycarbonate, and polylactic acid (a bioplastic), and multilayer combinations of different plastics. The symbol for other materials is in the bottom right of the page. It is not labelled and does not have a print number inside. The material should be described in text.
