"In Enschede, with #PlasticFantastic we talk about different types of #plastic and how to recognize them. On most plastics, a triangle is printed with a number which indicates what type of plastic you're dealing with. When #recycling plastic, you often want to sort the plastics by type first, else you can only make low-grade products: downcycling instead of recycling.
Take note that group number 7 contains 'all the rest'. Therefore it includes both safe and dangerous types.
