An infographic displaying the resin identification codes for different types of plastic. The infographic categorizes plastics into seven types, each represented by a recycling symbol with a number: 1. **PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate)**: Common products include soda and water bottles, cups, jars, trays, and clamshells. Recycled into clothing, carpet, clamshells, soda, and water bottles. 2. **HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)**: Common products include milk jugs, detergent and shampoo bottles, flower pots, and grocery bags. Recycled into detergent bottles, flower pots, crates, pipe, and decking. 3. **PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)**: Common products include cleaning supply jugs, pool liners, twine, sheeting, and automotive product bottles. Recycled into pipe, wall siding, binders, carpet backing, and flooring. 4. **LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)**: Common products include bread bags, paper towels and tissue overwrap, squeeze bottles, trash bags, and six-pack rings. Recycled into trash bags, plastic lumber, furniture, shipping envelopes, and compost bins. 5. **PP (Polypropylene)**: Common products include yogurt tubs, cups, juice bottles, straws, hangers, and sand and shipping bags. Recycled into paint cans, speed bumps, auto parts, food containers, hangers, plant pots, and razor handles. 6. **PS (Polystyrene)**: Common products include to-go containers, flatware, hot cups, razors, CD cases, shipping cushions, and trays. Recycled into picture frames, crown molding, rulers, flower pots, hangers, toys, and tape dispensers. 7. **Other**: Includes various plastics like polycarbonate, nylon, ABS, acrylic, PLA. Common products include bottles, safety glasses, CDs, and headlight lenses. Recycled into electronic housings and auto parts
