Paper (paper and miscellaneous metals) - 80

Identification codes show which type of material was used to make a product. That means it doesn’t necessarily indicate a product’s recyclability.

Some packaging manufacturers might mix paper with other materials to create specific properties they want. Some of these types of packaging are recyclable and some are not. To check if something is recyclable, either search for the individual item on our A-Z function (opens in a new window), or check on our recycling page (opens in a new window).
