recycle symbol

Three bent arrows

The recycle symbol is a triangular loop of three bent arrows, each chasing the next.

It indicates that a product or material can be recycled or contains recycled content.

When a number appears inside the triangle, it identifies the type of plastic: The bottle has a recycle symbol with a 2, so it goes in the bin.

Also called the recycling symbol.
