    Its been proven that the recycling symbol is placed on things that are not actually known to be recyclable - e.g., yogurt containers - to get people to feel better about buying plastic

      It’s actually not the recycling symbol, it’s a plastic identifier symbol that is, for some crazy unknown reason, designed to be very similar to the recycling icon.
