Recycling codes are used to identify the materials out of which the item is made, to facilitate easier recycling process. The presence on an item of a recycling code, a chasing arrows logo, or a resin code , is not an automatic indicator that a material is recyclable; it is an explanation of what the item is made of.
The Resin Identification Code (RIC) is a technical standard with a set of symbols appearing on plastic products that identify the plastic resin out of which the product is made. [1] It was developed in 1988 by the Society of the Plastics Industry (now the Plastics Industry Association ) in the United States, but since 2008 it has been ...
Polycarbonate is commonly used in eye protection, as well as in other projectile-resistant viewing and lighting applications that would normally indicate the use of glass, but require much higher impact-resistance. Polycarbonate lenses also protect the eye from UV light.
n.o.s. = not otherwise specified meaning a collective entry to which substances, mixtures, solutions or articles may be assigned if a) they are not mentioned by name in 3.2 Dangerous Goods List AND b) they exhibit chemical, physical and/or dangerous properties corresponding to the Class, classification code, packing group and the name and description of the n.o.s. entry [4]
These PLU codes were introduced in 1990 to streamline produce identification for retailers and consumers. They typically range between 3000 and 4999, though there are exceptions.
The resin identification code for PET plastic products. Plastic bottles are marked at their base with the resin identification code to indicate the material used. [25] [self-published source?] Product labels are attached with adhesive or are shrunk to fit. In-mould labelling is a process of building the label into the bottle during molding.
ISO/IEC 7810 Identification cards — Physical characteristics is an international standard that defines the physical characteristics for identification cards. [1] The characteristics specified include: Physical dimensions; Resistance to bending, chemicals, temperature, and humidity; Toxicity; The standard includes test methods for resistance ...
Polycarbonates do not have a unique resin identification code. Items made from polycarbonate can contain the precursor monomer bisphenol A (BPA). Susceptible to UV light, exposure results in yellowing (degradation is especially visible in headlamps that lost or didn't have proper protective coating).
