@ 203.173.190.177 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) Do not remove content that is well-referenced just because it is "obvious" to you personally. Other readers may still appreciate knowing what seems so obvious to you, or may want to know if their surmises about the reasons for something are actually supported by the facts. If you are not interested in the factual content, just go somewhere else. Reify-tech ( talk) 11:48, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
I came to to this page looking for the meaning of particular recycling symbols, but the page only refers to the generic symbol. Please would someone add a link to the page (there must be one !) with a list of all the many recycling symbols we see on our packaging ? Many thanks ! Darkman101 ( talk) 19:54, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
The recycling symbol in green and black shown at the top right of the article is especially ugly.
That it because it is not symmetric: Two of its arrows fold one way, and one of its arrows folds the other way.
I hope this can be replaced by a symmetrical one. 2601:200:C000:1A0:8C93:75A1:BFB7:8A7B ( talk) 15:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
The green 3 arrow symbol in the recycling symbol page has got one arrow that turns under and two that turn upwards. As far as I am aware all three arrows should turn upwards. If you look at the Unicode symbols further down that page, the ones that are 3D all have the arrow turn upwards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.125.5.30 ( talk) 17:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
According to the article, Container Corp didn't want the symbol to be in the public domain. I found this source that claims otherwise.

"The Container Corp. of America placed the symbol in the public domain in the hopes that it would be used widely to mark products made from recycled and recyclable paper products, making the symbol available in the fall of 1970 to all industries that recycle their products." aps ( talk) 19:19, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
