Clear filtersRecycling Information: 7 Plastic Codes
Understanding resin identification codes helps you select the right recycled polymer grade for your product and compliance requirements.
Polyethylene Terephthalate
Common Uses: Beverage bottles, food jars
Recyclability: Widely recyclable in India
Good clarity; used in fiber and sheet applications after recycling.
High-Density Polyethylene
Common Uses: Drums, cans, pipes, crates
Recyclability: Highly recyclable
Excellent chemical resistance; common for blow and injection grades.
Polyvinyl Chloride
Common Uses: Pipes, cable insulation, profiles
Recyclability: Limited streams
Requires controlled recycling and sorting due to additives.
Low-Density Polyethylene
Common Uses: Films, liners, carry bags
Recyclability: Recyclable where film collection exists
Aglo and granules widely used in non-food packaging.
Polypropylene
Common Uses: Raffia, caps, buckets, automotive
Recyclability: Increasingly recyclable
Versatile with good stiffness to weight ratio.
Polystyrene / HIPS
Common Uses: Appliance liners, trays, packaging
Recyclability: Moderate recyclability
HIPS preferred for tougher molded products.
ABS, PC, MLP and mixed polymers
Common Uses: Engineering components, multilayer packs
Recyclability: Case-by-case
Often processed into specialized industrial recycled grades.
