Recycling symbol

Not to be confused with the Green Dot or the Resin identification code.

The universal recycling symbol (U+2672 ♲ UNIVERSAL RECYCLING SYMBOL or U+267B ♻ BLACK UNIVERSAL RECYCLING SYMBOL in Unicode) is a symbol consisting of three chasing arrows folded in a Möbius strip. It is an internationally recognized symbol for recycling. The symbol originated on the first Earth Day in 1970, created by Gary Anderson, then a 23-year-old student, for the Container Corporation of America. The symbol is not trademarked and is in the public domain. Many variations on the logo have been created since its creation.
