Recycle

Plastics are divided based on their chemical composition, which is what determines how they are recycled.

If you look closely, each product is labeled with the♻️ symbol and with a number that tells us what type it is:

1. PET or PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate): this includes bottles of water, soft drinks and other beverages. It is one of the most recycled ✅

2. HDPE or HDPE (High Density Polyethylene): this includes supermarket bags, packaging for cleaning and hygiene products. It is a more rigid and resistant plastic. Can be recycled ✅

3. V or PVC (Vinyl or Polyvinyl Chloride): this includes tubes and pipes, door and window frames, and cable sheathing. It is very difficult to recycle ⚠️

4. LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene): this includes sacks, garbage bags, cling film and sauce boats.

5. PP (Polypropylene): this includes bottle caps, straws and pots. They are recyclable ✅, but due to their size they can easily be “lost” and end up in nature.

6. PS (Polystyrene): this includes disposable cups, cutlery and plates, yogurt and ice cream containers. It can be recycled, but it is better to avoid these disposable plastics ⚠️

7. OTHERS: Sanitary materials, toothbrushes, bottles, pacifiers, telephones and CDs. They generally cannot be recycled ❌
