Did you ever drink from a plastic bottle and see a triangle symbol on the bottom with a number inside?Do you know what the number stands for?


1) Polyethylene terephalate (PET)
2) High density polyethylene (HDPE)
3) Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) or Plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PPVC)
4) Low density polyethylene LDPE
5) Polypropylene (PP)
6) Polystyrene (PS) or Expandable polystyrene (EPS)
7) Other, including nylon and acrylic

Check out this chart that breaks down the plastic, its uses and chemical makeup http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/environmentinhk/waste/guide_ref/guide_plascod3.html

DO NOT USE: 3, 6 and 7

Reusing plastic bottles by refilling them is NOT a good idea.
