Queal steady vegan recyclability

[lejaju]

Hello.

According to https://queal.com/sustainability queal steadies are made of recycable plastic "7 other" so there should be this symbol in the package, right? To actually make it recyable. However, it's nowhere to be seen. I looked for every nook and cranny in my steady vegan packages. It's a shame that I have to throw away dozens and of these packages. I hope this issue is fixed and if not, at least update the sustainability website to match the actual product. Or maybe I'm just missing the symbol?

The symbol you posted IS NOT a symbol that means something is recyclable.
It just tells you what material it is made out of.

This is a symbol that means something is recyclable (no letters or numbers anywhere near it!).
Yes, it looks similar, there is a very good reason why it does, but I won't get into all the lobbies that happened to make this thing a reality, you can search for "plastic recycling is an actual scam" on YouTube (a bit click-baity title, but information is true).

Sadly, seems like Queal packages are not recyclable (since they are a combinations of materials, not a single PP or similar plastic, that can be recycled).
