recycling symbol
Triangular reuse emblem
The recycling symbol is a design of three curved arrows forming a triangle, indicating that a product or material can be recycled.
It appears on packaging, bins, and products to identify recyclable items.
Variations include numbered symbols (1-7) that identify specific plastic types: Check the recycling symbol to see if your community accepts that plastic.
