Author Topic: What is This Symbol?: B Inside Upside Down Triangle Under Plastic Lid (Read 4541 times)

Platypi · September 18, 2017, 02:49:48 AM

I found this symbol underneath the cap to a plastic ~~Gatorade~~ water bottle/jug. It was next to a "food safe" symbol and a PETE symbol. I tried Googling it, but can't find anything about it. I can't even find a picture of it anywhere else. Whenever I search for it, no matter what the search query, the results are always flooded with picture and articles about resin identification codes (e.g. the PETE symbol I mentioned) or random spiritual symbols. Likewise, I could not find a forum for discussing plastic and recycling that I could post a thread on.

If anyone knows what this symbol is, or of a website I can go to to find out, please let me know. I'm kind of at a loss.

it's probably some generic plastic manufacturer mark, there's literally thousands of different marks for all the random glass and plastic companies

i couldn't find one for plastic but here's a silly little site that documents glass manufacturer marks

i think it's a symbol indicating what kind of plastic it is and if it's recyclable or not.

From what I gather, the circle is the symbol for enclosure (the cap). An upside-down triangle inside of it, also known as the chalice, is the alchemical sign for water.

I'm not sure what the B stands for....are you sure it's a B and not an 8?

its not one of the resin identification codes so it might just be a stamp of manufacturer
