	What it DOES mean about safety is open to question, but I believe the number in the recycling triangle is for the use of the recycling industry, and does not mean that it is a certain kind of plastic.

you believe wrong then.  The number does in fact indicate the type of plastic ... GCA_Steve New

What, there are Nalgene bottles labeled number 7? The Nalgene bottles I've seen are polycarbonate, and ezwater New

scroll down to bottom of this here page: GCA_Steve New

I just checked our inventory.  Nearly all are class 2 HDPE. One older one is class 7 "other" but ezwater New

check out this here too, this is some good shit. GCA_Steve New

here's the catch though:  recycle code 7 is "Other" plastic .... not included in the first 6 types GCA_Steve New

Some Hersheys are labeled 2, some are labeled 7, but it's pretty much the same stuff. <NT> ezwater New

the type 7's are probably so because the leftover chocolate syrup changes their chemical composition. GCA_Steve New

ps.  hmmmmm!!  same number of recycle classes as whitewater difficulty levels. GCA_Steve New

The Magic Number Seven, +/-  2  !! <NT> ezwater New
