Recycling Symbols:

The following symbols have been created to assist the consumer in reading at a glance the material of which a container is made. These symbols are required to appear on all bottles 8 oz and greater. The symbol consists of a triangle formed by "chasing arrows" with a specific number in the center. The number indicates the material from which the container is made. The number/material equivalents are:
1 - PETE (Polyethylene Terphthalate)

3 - V (Vinyl/Polyvinyl Chloride)
4 - LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene)
