Recycling Symbol

The recycling symbol, a triangle formed by three arrows, indicates that a product or packaging is recyclable. Each arrow represents a different stage: collection, processing, and purchasing recycled content. It helps consumers identify items that can be sorted and processed into new products, reducing waste and conserving resources. While a symbol suggests recyclability, it doesn’t guarantee that the item will be recycled everywhere; local recycling rules vary. Understanding this symbol encourages environmentally responsible choices, promoting sustainability and reducing landfill impact.
