  2. ON-PACK RECYCLE SYMBOL PICTURES Many a time we see several recycle symbol pictures on the packaging of everyday use items. And almost all of those times we disregard those recycling symbols on packaging as some sort of gibberish. For someone with zero knowledge of these symbols and images, it can be difficult to understand. However, our recycling practices could benefit a lot if we could figure out these recycling symbols meaning. Fear no more, as we’re here to do just that! We have compiled some of the most popularly used recycling symbols on packaging and explained what they mean. Several IT recycling companies, like other recycling companies, also advise understanding the recycling ethics so we don’t end up harming the environment more. Eco Green IT Recycling

  3. EXPLAINING RECYCLE SYMBOL PICTURES The on-pack recycling labels or OPRL can be found on almost all sorts of packaging. These recycle symbol pictures are frequently used on milk cartons, cans of beverages, plastic toiletries, etc. Understanding these symbols is necessary in order to carry out proper ECO GREEN IT RECYCLING recycling. Even if we hire a recycling company to do the job we need to know the right one. Therefore, read on to find out the meanings of recycling symbols on packaging. Recycling Symbols Meaning There are so many recycling symbols out of which we have taken out the following. Check out what each one means!

  4. RECYCLING SYMBOLS MEANING Rinsing means that if the recycling material contains any food it should be rinsed before collection. This is helpful for the collectors. This symbol can be found on items like food containers. The packages with this label mean that they are collected by 80% of the local authorities in the UK. These recycle symbol pictures are mostly found on items like plastic bottles. Recycling companies need us to leave the lids on if it has this symbol on the item. The metal and glass will be separated from each other during the recycling process.

  5. RECYCLING SYMBOLS MEANING Some items have a visible disclaimer on them saying they can only be recycled at proper recycling centres. These items include stuff like paint cans. One of the recycling symbols on packaging says that the bottle is widely recycled but the sleeve isn’t recycled. This type of packaging can be found in ice cream cups, yoghurt pots and some coffee cups, too. Some supermarkets collect plastic films and paper/newspaper. So, if your cereal box says that it can be recycled with carrier bags at the store you bought it from, pay attention. Don’t throw such items into the trash bins.

  6. RECYCLING SYMBOLS MEANING This is the most popular symbol among all the recycle symbol pictures. It roughly means that the item is recyclable. This also indicates that even if the item is recyclable, it doesn’t mean it has been recycled before or will be accepted by any recycling company. If the recycle symbol pictures say something like ‘check locally’ or ‘consult local authorities’, then go with that. Usually, this label can be found on such items that are collected at least 20% of the local authorities. One of the other recycling symbols on packaging is of ‘not yet recycled’. This symbol is used when less than 20% of the local authorities collect it across the UK.

  7. RECYCLING SYMBOLS MEANING This symbol confuses several people as they think that it means the item is recyclable. However, it actually means that those who produced this packaging have financially contributed to the recycling of packaging. This recycling symbol actually indicates the type of plastic used in the creation of the product. This is called the Resin Identification Code. The number written between the chasing arrows indicate the type of resin used. Another recycling symbol uses a man throwing a bottle in a bin. This recycling symbol means that we should recycle glass bottles. However, when submitting the bottles to a company, make sure you separate them by colour.

  8. RECYCLING SYMBOLS MEANING If an item has this symbol it indicates that the item is made with aluminium which can be recycled. This symbol doesn’t necessarily relate to recycling, it generally reminds us to not litter. It is more like an ethics symbol than it is a recycling symbol. This recycling symbol is an indication that the specific item is made with steel which can be recycled in recycling centres.
