The meaning of the recyclable sign is to remind people that after using the goods packaged with the sign, please send them for recycling instead of throwing them away as garbage. It means that the commodity or the packaging of the commodity is made of renewable materials, which can't be thrown away casually. It should be put in a special trash can so that it can be recycled.
Recyclable garbage itself or materials are reusable paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal, plastic packaging and other materials, such as:
1. Waste paper: newspapers, book paper, office paper, advertising paper, cartons, etc.
2. Plastics: all kinds of plastic bags, plastic foams, plastic packaging, plastic toothbrushes, plastic cups, mineral water bottles, etc.
3. Glass: glass bottles and broken glass pieces, mirrors, light bulbs, etc.
4. Metals: cans, tin cans, etc.
The recycling mark is also a health certificate.
The plastic recycling sign is a triangular symbol, usually at the bottom of a plastic container. There are 1 ~ 7 numbers in the triangle, and each number represents a different material. Therefore, the different numbers in the recycling mark indicate which resin the product is made of. If the product is made of several different materials, indicate the main and basic materials of the product.
It is said that this set of signs originated in America. This marking method has been accepted and quoted by many countries, including China. In China, it is not mandatory to mark the recycling mark on plastic products. In order to facilitate the recycling of plastic products, some formal big brand enterprises have recently started to mark recycling signs.
Although this sign is mainly for the convenience of recycling, consumers can also know what material the plastic products used are and under what environment they should be used.
