The identification system was introduced by the Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc., which provides a uniform system for the identification of different polymer types and helps recycling companies to separate different plastics for reprocessing.

Polyethylene Terephthalate – “PET” and/or “1”
High Density Polyethylene – “PE-HD” and/or “2”
Polyvinyl Chloride – “PVC” and/or “3”
