Some plastics are labelled with a number that indicates the composition of the plastic resin used. 2 designates polyethylene, etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_identification_code
However, I don't believe that plastic chips have this code, so the recycler is mistaking the plastics molding lot for a plastic resin code. |
