The "♵" emote, also known as the Recycling Symbol for Type-3 Plastics, is a triangular symbol with arrows forming a closed loop. It indicates that a product or packaging is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and can be recycled. However, PVC is not widely accepted in recycling programs due to its potential health and environmental hazards, so it is important to check with local recycling facilities before attempting to recycle products marked with this symbol.
