MODERATORS
that "please recycle" triangle arrow thing is pretty much a scam.
That triangle arrow logo is a scam at the best of times. It's supposed to contain a number saying what type of plastic it is. In practice type "1", PET, is the only type that is viable for recycle. It may be possible to recycle other numbers but it's preclusively expensive. So while they've chosen a logo that makes plastic generally look like it's recyclable, it's not really the case.
Anyhow, with this particular logo there's no number. They've put it there to make it look like their product is recyclable, but it's just not.
