What do the plastic codes mean?

In 1988, the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) made a number system (1-7) for plastics to be recycled more easily. The manufactures put this code  on their plastic products that allow consumers to easily identify the type of plastic they have.

• Plastic marked with an SPI code of 1 is made with Polyethylene Terephthalate. Which is also know as PETE or PET. PETE plastic is used to make many common household items like beverage bottles, medicine jars, combs.

• Plastic marked with an SPI code of 2 is made with High-Density Polyethylene. HDPE products that are commonly recycled are containers for milk, motor oil, shampoos and totes.

• Number 3 plastic is polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC or vinyl. This plastic is manufactured to be either rigid or flexible, and is used in clamshells and blister packs, bags for bedding and medical items, and construction materials such as pipe

• Plastics with number 4 are made from low-density polyethylene, or LDPE. This tough, flexible plastic is used in bags for bread, produce, dry cleaning and garbage, as well as container lids and squeeze bottles; LDPE is also used in shrink wrap because it reacts well to heat sealing

• Number 5 plastics are made out of polypropylene, or PP. It is used in molded products --- the code is on flexible food containers for yogurt, margarine and syrup, and also harder plastics like medicine bottles, bottle caps and automobile parts

• Polystyrene, or PS, is coded number 6. PS containers are rigid or foam; either type forms a moisture barrier that makes it good for products with a short shelf life. PS is used to make take-out containers, cutlery, meat trays and disposable plates and bowls; packing peanuts are a common form of the foam version of PS

• Code number 7 is on composite materials, layered resins and other difficult-to-recycle plastics. This includes baking bags, ketchup bottles and some large water jugs. Number 7 plastics can sometimes be recycled into bottles or plastic lumber
