It can be confusing to know how best to recycle plastic caps. Do they go in the recycling bin? Plastic caps are often a different type of plastic than the bottles themselves. Also, plastic caps do not have that little triangle symbol to tell you what type of plastic they are made from – so how can you know for certain if you are putting the right type of plastic in your recycling bin?
I have designed many projects from plastic caps, partially because the recycling options are often unsatisfying, but also because they are colorful and fun to use in projects!
If you want to recycle plastic caps and your municipality does not take all plastic types, check out the Gimme 5 program. Thank you to Whole Foods and Preserve for running this program for so many years!
