Do you know what this means?
So what does this mean?
The first is what you're likely to see moulded on the bottom of a plastic container, the second is the universal recycling logo. The former was developed in 1988 by the US Society of Plastics Industry to distinguish between plastics types. The second logo is the recycling logo designed in 1970 by Gary Anderson, a 23-year-old student, in answer to a competition.
According to this, the plastic logo is not supposed to mean that the plastic is recyclable. If you search the web there are conflicting arguments. I have to admit, I thought it did mean that it was recyclable. Why design a logo that looks the recycling one otherwise?
Anyway, these students have done some really good work around the both logos.
