PLASTIC IDENTIFICATION CODE
Resin Identification Coding System  is a set of symbols placed on  plastics  to identify the  polymer  type. It was developed by the  Society of the Plastics Industry  (SPI) in 1988.  Primary purpose of the codes is to  allow efficient separation  of different  polymer  types for  recycling . The symbols used in the code consist of arrows that cycle clockwise to form a rounded triangle and enclosing a number, often with an acronym representing the plastic below the triangle.  When the number is omitted, the symbol is known as the universal  Recycling Symbol , indicating generic recyclable materials. In this case, other text and labels are used to indicate the material(s) used. The number  not indicate   how hard the item is to recycle , nor  how often the plastic was recycled . It is  an arbitrary number and has no other meaning aside from identifying the specific plastic .

Recycle Plastic
PET BOTTLE  &  POLYESTER Most synthetic fibers (approximately 70%) are made from polyester, and the polyester most often used in  textiles  is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) . The majority of the world’s PET production – about 60% – is used to make fibers for textiles; about 30% is used to make bottles.   It’s estimated that it takes about 104 million barrels of oil for PET production each year – that’s 70 million barrels just to produce the virgin polyester used in fabrics. The reason recycled polyester (often written rPET) is considered a green option in textiles today is twofold, and the argument goes like this: Saving energy (33%  to 53% less energy than produce from virgin) Estimate at 54.6% fewer CO2 emissions  Keeping bottles and other plastics out of the landfills.
Fun Facts About PET   First PET bottle was recycled in 1977 FACTS about PET: Recycling 1 ton of PET bottles saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space It takes 5 recycled two-liter PET bottles to make one square foot of carpet. PET bottles and containers are actually a form of polyester, which is why it is so easy to recycle bottles into T-shirts, sweaters and socks. It takes 35 two-liter recycled PET bottles to make the soft filling inside a sleeping bag, called “fiberfill.” Plastic makes up 8% of our trash by weight, but is 24% of the volume Source: EASTMAN NAPCOR (National Association for PET Container Resources),  www.napcor.com/PET/funfacts.html
