Recycling Plastic

Recycling plastic is a great way to start reducing it! But not all plastic can be recycled.

We can look at the type of plastic on packages before we buy them. Only buy plastic that you know can be recycled.

Look for these signs and buy products where the packaging can be easily recycled and not sent to landfill.

Then be sure and recycle every single bit!

Use the infographic below to help you remember which plastics can be easily recycled.

For an extra challenge: sort the plastics you found in the ‘How much plastic in my classroom?’ game into each category!
