∙ Polythene, PET, and Polystyrene are plastics and hence, are non-biodegradable.
∙ ‘Plastic Resin Identification Code’ or RIC shows the consumer which type of plastic resin or material was used to make the chosen product, whether that be a plastic bottle, container or jug.

∙ Polystyrene having RIC of 6 can not be recycled easily.
