recycling symbol
A symbol indicating recyclable materials.
The ♻ symbol features three chasing arrows arranged in a triangle, evoking a Möbius strip and conveying continuous recycling. Designed by Gary Anderson in 1970 for a public contest, it quickly became an international icon for environmental conservation. It appears on packaging and products to designate materials such as paper, plastic and glass that can be recycled. By reminding consumers of the importance of a circular economy, it helps reduce waste and promotes resource reuse. Widely used on public bins and recycling stations, it instantly communicates eco-friendly and sustainable practices.
