Anderson explained that &#8220;The figure was designed as a Mobius strip to symbolize continuity within a finite entity.\u201d It was unveiled on the first ever Earth Day held in the same year (1970) and given to the public domain with many variations later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">While the chasing-arrows-logo is a ubiquitous symbol, the recycling codes inside the logo may vary depending on the countries. In South Korea, the names of plastic types are written in words, but other places may use numbers or abbreviations to categorize them. In this article, we are going to learn about the most common marks \u2013 number codes. The numbers inside recycling mark, along with the raw material names written at the bottom indicate the type of plastic the product is made of and plays a pivotal role in recycling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\"><span style=\"color: #004db0;\"><span style=\"color: #004db0;\">\u2460 PET or PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17484\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1240\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02.png 1240w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-300x103.png 300w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-1024x352.png 1024w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-768x264.png 768w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-250x86.png 250w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-600x206.png 600w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-700x240.png 700w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-800x275.png 800w, https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/SKI-\ud50c\ub77c\uc2a4\ud2f1-\ud45c\uc2dc-\ub9c8\ud06c-\ubd84\ub958-\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c0-\uc81c\uc791_R1_\uc601\ubb38_02-524x180.png 524w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">PETE\/PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is the most common material we encounter in daily lives as it is mainly used in single use bottled beverages.

Actions must be taken by everyone. First, trying to reduce the amount of unnecessary disposable items used in daily lives, such as plastic straws and plastic bags, is an important step to mitigate the plastic waste issues. The next step is disposing plastic products in a correct way. After using the products, we should always check the recycling mark, understand its meanings as explained in this article, and practice proper sorting and disposing before having the items recycled. Plastic recycling rate can only be increased once individuals make such effort. <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 11240px; border: 2px solid #d5d5d5; padding: 5px 0px; line-height: 26px; font-size: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0px 10px;\">\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>\u25a0 Related articles <\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/archives\/16719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> [SKinno Tech] Plastic Recycling<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every day, we are using various products made from plastics.
