    The numbers inside the symbol represent different types of plastics. Some recycling centres can only recycle certain types of plastics. For an easy to use guide including examples see the attached website. If the link doesn't work let me know.

    From what i heard not read that is how many times the plastic has been recycled. it could also mean the polymer softness. either or both.
