Plastic is an essential component of many items, including water bottles, combs, and beverage containers. Knowing the difference, as well as the SPI codes, will help you make more informed decisions about recycling.
The seven types of plastic include:
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PETE or PET)High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)Polypropylene (PP)Polystyrene or Styrofoam (PS)Miscellaneous plastics (includes: polycarbonate, polylactide, acrylic, acrylonitrile butadiene, styrene, fiberglass, and nylon)
When it comes to promotional giveaways, and even items we use around the house, there is no material more important than plastic. The same can be said for the items we use at the office. Most of our supplies contain at least a little bit of this material. In fact, humans have thus far produced 9.1 billion tons of plastic!
For the sake of the environment, it’s important to know the different types of plastic and their uses, as well as the resin identification codes found on each.
