Welcome to National Solid Waste Association of India's Website. Resin identification code. Sorted household plastic waiting to be hauled away for reprocessing. The SPI resin identification coding system is a set of symbols placed on plastics to identify the polymer type. It was developed by the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) in 1988, and is used internationally. The primary purpose of the codes is to allow efficient separation of different polymer types for recycling. Separation must be efficient because the plastics must be recycled separately. Even one item of the wrong type of resin can ruin a mix. The symbols used in the code consist of arrows that cycle clockwise to form a rounded triangle and enclosing a number, often with an acronym representing the plastic below the triangle. The number does not indicate how hard the item is to recycle, nor how often the plastic was recycled.
The Unicode character encoding standard includes the resin identification codes, between code points U+2673 and U+2679 inclusive in the Miscellaneous Symbols block.
