Question

What does the recycle symbol with a tick in the center mean. Many thanks?

Answer 1

It is most likely either a number 7 designating the type of plastic or a marketing tool indicating the material is recycleable.

Answer 2

The recycling symbol is unregulated, meaning that no authority controls the design or what goes in the center.

So it could mean anything.
