These signs were first revealed by SPI \u2014 The Society of the Plastics Institute in 1988. Marking these symbols on packaging is mandatory in some states of the United States. The Type of material used according to the European Union (EU) Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive will be marked in a similar way if it is to be specified on the packaging. The European Standards Organisation (CEN) makes similar recommendations on marking packaging. The use of these symbols makes the separation process extremely easy during the recycling\/ recovery of plastic packaging.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1059 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sepa.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/donusum-1-1-300x57.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sepa.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/donusum-1-1-300x57.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sepa.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/donusum-1-1-730x141.jpg 730w, https:\/\/sepa.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/donusum-1-1.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>All Types of Rigid Plastic Packages are Easily Convertible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1062 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sepa.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/recycling.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"91\" height=\"135\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At this point, concept confusion is due to definitions.
