Do plastic materials like PC and Tritan fall under the category of symbol 7?

Polycarbonate (PC) and Tritan™ are two common plastic materials that do not strictly fall under the category of "symbol 7." http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10145.htmlThey are typically not directly classified under the recycling identification number "7" as they have unique properties and uses.

PC (Polycarbonate) is a transparent, high-heat-resistant, and high-strength plastic commonly used in the manufacturing of automotive parts, protective eyewear, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10145.htmlplastic bottles, water cups, and other durable goods.

Tritan™ is a special copolyester material with characteristics similar to PC, but it is designed to be free of BPA (Bisphenol A). Therefore, Tritan™ is more commonly used in the production of food-contact products, such as water bottles and food containers. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10145.htmlTritan™ is often promoted as being free of toxic substances and having properties like high temperature resistance and impact resistance.

Although these materials are not directly classified under the "7" symbol, in some cases, these special materials may be included in the broader category of "other plastics or mixtures" under symbol 7. http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10145.htmlThis could be because of their complex composition or because they are challenging to strictly categorize under specific identification numbers.

It's important to note that when recycling and processing these special plastic materials, http://www.umbottle.com/ProductsDetail-VB-10145.htmlit's advisable to consult local recycling facilities or relevant authorities to understand the correct handling methods and feasibility.
