[edit] Various

Symbols don't work in either Opera or Netscape. The font codes (& #9843; etc, space inserted so code would show) are non-standard. Needs to be redone and standardized. -Vsmith 17:53, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The article on the plain chasing arrows symbol (not the plastics one) goes into detail about how it is public domain. Does anyone know if the plastics ones are public domain? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.99.34.238 (talk) 02:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


The following quote strikes me as editorialization: "(PVC is claimed to be recyclable, but it is in fact not a single material due to the wide variety of toxic additives for various applications; PVC is fundamentally toxic waste)." I do not believe PVC qualifies as toxic (or hazardous) waste such under US or any other country's law/regulatory regimes. It is banned from use in aerosol applications, and there is concern about leaching of phthalate platicizers from some PVC products. Assuming, arguendo, that this were proven, PVC would still not qualify as "toxic waste" under any reasonable/neutral use of the language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wabernat (talk • contribs) 05:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Table grid

The table grid is not lining up properly, can someone repair it? Ace Frahm 21:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Seems to work fine here. Could you describe the issue as you experience it in more detail? –EdC 22:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Fixed. The problem affected only Internet Explorer. —Remember the dot (talk) 23:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

The photo, "Plastic_recycle.jpg", labeled as "sorted household plastic waiting to be hauled away for reprocessing", doesn't appear to be sorted to me. The description says that are sorted, but it looks to primarily be HDPE, but there is also a lot of PETE and I can quickly identify a few PP containers. If I correctly identified these types of plastic, then how could this be sorted? Chris01720 (talk) 08:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
