Q: How do I know which plastics are acceptable?
A: Look at the shape and loops!
www.bra.org
One of the best ways to identify
which plastics are acceptable is to
look at the shape of the container
and its mobius loop number.
The loop identifies its plastic type,
not its recyclability.
The Bluewater Recycling Association
developed a guide to help you know
which numbers and shapes are taken.
You can find this guide online at
