What is PET
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
Just to help out a fellow Coastsider, wiki(Polyethylene_terephthalate,PET) is PolyEthyleneTerephthalate. Steve, follow the link to wikipedia, and then keep following links until you finally get to an hint of an answer to the question you raised in "Recycling".

PET plastics are coded with the number 1 which is found inside the universal recycling symbol, usually located on the bottom of the container.
Since L'Oreal is using a non-standard icon to indicate something about their packaging, how are consumers supposed to know what to do with it? Why aren't they prepared to address or resolve this? Who knows what happens down the chain in the recycling process? Maybe some material handler will reject it for the non-standard icon? As consumers, we have no idea, and there's no reason for a manufacturer to be so darn lame about it!
You're correct, L'Oreal should be using the standard PETE Recycling Image.
BTW, the link to your original post is in my trackbacked reply, though I notice that my trackback doesn't show up on your blog.
Some discussion of similar problems
http://www.haloscan.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5594 although most of the problems in that forum seem to be about leaving trackbacks, not receiving 'em. Drat!
We'll have to get together at A Coatal Affair, I mean Café Luca and chat about it.
And we really have to figure out what in our CSS is causing the first comment to have white space to the bottom of the left and right columns. |-|
