Wolfgang Puck Instant Hot Latte Review Followup

Thanks for finding that scott.. so what they're saying is that it can be recycled, but it's some of the most difficult to do.. i guess before the classification they could only be thrown away..

I'm not sure how much they'll be recycled with a 7 classification though.. most places you're lucky if they take 1's and 2's..

I got this from a State run website...

1-PET: Polyethylene Terephthalate
Includes beverage bottles (like 2-liter pop bottles)
and some microwave food trays.

2-HDPE: High Density Polyethylene
Includes milk jugs, trash bags, detergent bottles,
bleach bottles, aspirin bottles.

3-V: Vinyl/Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Includes food wrap, vegetable oil bottles, and blister
wrap.

4-LDPE: Low Density Polyethylene
Includes some grocery and department store shopping
bags, produce and bread bags, and food wrap.

5-PP: Polypropylene
Includes some yogurt containers, some shampoo
bottles, and some margarine tubs.

6-PS: Polystyrene
Includes hot beverage cups, clamshell containers for
take-out food, egg cartons, and meat trays.

7-Other
Includes plastics other than the six most common, or
containers made of multiple layered resins or blends.
Includes water cooler bottles, snack bags, and
condiment bottles.

I've looked everywhere and can't find the scale. Anyone else?

ok, does anyone have a link to what those recycling classifications mean? I have a Nescafe Taster's Choice plastic container that has a rating of 7 on the bottom. It's all brown plastic and much thicker than that of clear bottled water plastic..
