Plastic Symbol 3_V vinyl/poly vinyl chloride - e!.g!., window cleaners

Plastic Symbol 4_LDPE low density polyethylene - e!.g!., squeezeable mustard

Plastic Symbol 6_PS polystyrene - e!.g!., egg cartons

Plastic Symbol 7_OTHER made of mixed resins or multiple layers of more than one resin type- e!.g!., syrup bottles

I think it depends on what your intended use of the plastic would be to say it was a bad or good choiceWww@FoodAQ@Com
