Syfo and Recycling

From time to time our customers call to ask us if our bottles are recyclable or there are questions about what the recycling codes mean.  You can find a good explanation of all the recycling codes on the following website:

We only use glass bottles or bottles made of #1 PETE or #2 HDPE.

While most thermoplastics can, in principle, be recycled, PET bottle recycling is more practical than many other plastic applications. The primary reason is that plastic carbonated soft drink bottles and water bottles are almost exclusively PET, which makes them easier to identify in a recycle stream. PET has a resin identification code of 1.
