A bin marked with the recycling loop, showing where to deposit recyclables.
Also known as: Recycling bin, Bin with arrows
A bin carrying the recycling loop marks where to put recyclable waste. It is a place, not a claim about a material — which is precisely the confusion the mobius loop on packaging causes.
Marks a container or point for depositing recyclable waste.
Contexts: Public information
States a place rather than a property: it says where to put something, where the loop printed on packaging makes a claim about the material itself.
Contexts: Packaging, Public information
A simplified waste container in side view carrying a triangular loop of three chasing arrows on its face.
One marks a place to deposit; the other makes a claim about a material.
