Plastic Recycling Symbols Guide: Understand Resin Identification Codes #1994174 (License: Personal Use)

This infographic displays the seven universal plastic recycling symbols, each marked with a number 1 through 7 and corresponding resin abbreviation: PETE (1), HDPE (2), PVC/V (3), LDPE (4), PP (5), PS (6), and PC/Other (7). The symbols use green arrows in a triangular formation, with subtle shading to give a 3D effect, and are labeled clearly beneath each icon for easy identification. These codes help consumers and waste facilities sort plastics by polymer type to ensure proper recycling processes.

Used on educational websites, municipal recycling guides, sustainability blogs, and packaging labels to help users identify recyclable plastics. Matches user intent to understand recycling symbols, comply with local waste rules, or make eco-conscious purchasing decisions.
