Or, the people at the plant have to physically remove these contaminants and the facility has to pay to get that material disposed of. When the facility’s bales of plastic are contaminated with non-recyclable materials or dirty bottles (see #8), it’s harder to sell and has less value. Municipal recycling facilities often sell the materials they collect to other countries (like China) that do the actual recycling, turning your old bottle into post-consumer raw materials for manufacturers to make new stuff out of. Because consumers don’t know exactly what to do with some products (a problem I definitely identify with), sometimes things get mixed in that shouldn’t be there. This human error is causing big problems in the recycling industry. But if something that is not accepted ends up at the facility, it can clog up the entire system. “Wishful recyclers say, ‘When in doubt, put it in your container and hope for the best,’” says Dorn.
That’s why it’s important to know your numbers.ġ0. However, just because it’s made from recycled material doesn’t mean it can necessarily be recycled again, says Dorn. There also might be a Mobius loop with a circle around it, which also indicates that it’s made from some recycled materials. That is an indication that the product is made of recycled materials. While some are accepted in curbside programs, others might have to be taken to a local recycling pickup point (like a grocery store).Īnother symbol you might see is a dot that sort of looks like a yin-yang with arrows. As far as numbers four through seven, it depends on your local community rules. A number three denotes PVC, which Dorn describes as a particularly a problematic material to recycle. “If you look on the bottom of the container, the most recyclable plastics have a number one or two,” says Dorn. On plastic bottles, you’ll see a similar symbol that has a number inside: These numbers (one through seven) identify what type of plastic the package is made of. The paper and cardboard boxes that products come in are pretty much a sure bet, but look for the classic triangle with arrows symbol (which is called a Mobius loop) to be 100 percent sure.īut not every package with a Mobius loop is necessarily recyclable where you live. There are a few context clues on the package that tell you if it’s recyclable or not. Examine the labels on your products to see what’s recyclable.
