What do those numbers mean on the bottom of water bottles?

they're located in the middle of those triangle things at the bottom of every water bottle.What do those numbers mean on the bottom of water bottles?
it has to do with recycling and the type of plastic used to make it. recycling centers sometimes tell recyclers that they may only accept a certain # and that would have do find another place for the other #'s


I know #5 is a popular one.What do those numbers mean on the bottom of water bottles?
It's what type of plastic it is in terms of recycling. In my area for example, we can only recycle plastics with #1 or #2 on them. The numbers are also on milk jugs, soda bottles etc etc.
