Why does Tupperware not place recycling codes on the bottom of their products?
The raw material identification (recycling) code was created to facilitate plastic recycling. This code is a triangle symbol that features a number from 1 to 7 to assist consumers in separating plastics for recycling purposes based on the type of plastic material used. Because Tupperware® products contain a lifetime guarantee and were not originally intended for recycling, they were not labeled with recycle codes. Now that the code system and recycling practices have become more widely adopted internationally, Tupperware will begin to systematically place raw material codes (recycling codes) on all products. Raw material identification codes for all our main product ranges are currently available at by following this link.
