Number 7 Plastic
Awareness of plastic #7 is currently growing. All plastics that do not already fall into categories 1 through 6 must be designated with the “other” marking, which is #7. These categories are required by law in 39 states on certain types of containers. #7 is often the container of choice for reusable plastic water and baby bottles. In addition, any container made from multi-layered or mixed materials – even when the layers are made from #1 through #6 materials – must also be marked with the #7 for “multi-layered materials.”
