Recycles Codes
Recycle Codes
We’ve all seen the recycle codes on plastic packaging. This symbol refers to a Resin Code which is assigned to a particular plastic (Polymer). Most laminated pouches don’t display a Resin Code. The individual film layers that make up the laminated structure will have a code of 1 to 5, but once they are laminated, they become a 7 (Other).
