About this symbol
The numbered recycling triangles are resin identification codes, introduced by the Society of the Plastics Industry in the United States in 1988 so recyclers could sort plastics by type. Code 1 is PET, polyethylene terephthalate, used for drinks bottles. The arrows do not mean the item will be recycled where you live.
