You’ve probably noticed that many plastic products use a single digit code within a triangular recycling symbol. These codes are called resin identification codes, which indicate the type of the plastic that certain product is made of, however the codes do not specify all the compounds of the plastic.
Recycling centers use those codes to differentiate the plastic and to efficiently recycle plastic material. Therefore the codes in the triangular recycling symbol indicate how to recycle and which group of recycling does the product belong to.
However the symbol is not an indicator of all the compounds in the plastic and other substances used for production, thus EQUA bottle, along with the resin identification code (recycling symbol), specifies also the material it is made of – TRITAN.
