What type of plastic is it? Is there a recycling number or PP or LDPE stamped on the bottom?

I would REALLY like to help you - but this is VERY hard to tell - the imprint is just the plastic imprinted with lots of stuff on the bottom of the bottle and its TINY! The stamped numbers on the bottom are the only thing that is ink and readable by my (must be) old eyes! I am sorry - If I had a crayon, I'd try to take a rubbing, but no such luck! We do like these and I think that they are at least BPA free since I do not buy anything w/o knowing it is BPA free - but I really don't remember if this was PP or LDPE-free - I'm sorry!

According to their website, the bottles are BPA Free. http://shopreduce.com/products/waterweek-kids-kaleidoscope By the way, these have been FANTISTIC. Easy for my 5 yo boy to open, drink from, and refill on his own.

On the corkscrew part of the bottle is a small number 2. I am assuming that is the plastic number.

It doesn't say it's free of anything. The plastic is a very hard plastic. They are made in China and patent pending(according to bottom stamps). I'm glad you asked, I assumed it would be free of all the garbage but I'm starting to doubt it as it doesn't say that it is. They were very handy for kids lunches, and for the price not a big deal if one gets misplaced. I won't be buying another set if they don't advertise what they are "free" of. Pretty sad we have to watch our backside so close for fear of what we are ingesting!!

I don't see a recycling number stamped on the bottom. What I do see is this ... "Made in China ... patent pending ... dishwasher safe ... 10 oz./0.29L ... www.reduceeveryday.com." So maybe if you went to that website it would give specifics.

the number inside recycle triangle is 2. Under triangle it has letters HDPE, and along side triangle to the left, there's a 4

Yes, it is HDPE. I corresponded (or spoke, can't remember which) with the company owner and he said it is very expensive to get testing and approval for recycle symbol ratings, so his product doesn't have the label (at least did not when I purchased) but it is HDPE. I have seen enough blue, food grade HDPE to have no reason to believe this is anything else.

The recycling number is 5 and underneath are the letters PP. That means it's made of polypropylene. From the Live Strong website: "Polypropylene containers do not leach harmful chemicals into foods or liquids. They commonly contain yogurt, medicine, drinks, ketchup and medicines. Type 5 plastic is flexible, hard and semi-transparent and has high resistance to solvents. Polypropylene containers may have the symbol "PP" on them."

I'm wanting to say some type of "recycled?" plastic, not quite polystyrene, but a hard plastic. It is described on other sites as high impact plastic. Thanks for asking. Have a nice day.

It's made from polypropylene. Check out: http://veganlogy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/What-Do-Recycling-Symbols-on-Plastics-Mean.png It's number 5.

Well I looked, but there is no recycle number on it. It looks like a polyacrylate to me.

There is no number inside of the recycle symbol on the bottom of these bottles. It is blank, and simply states BPA free below the symbol.

There is a 5 in the triangle recycle symbol with a pp below the triangle. There is also an omega symbol and a number 4 on the bottom of the container. Don't know of this helps.

Looking at the bottom of my container it only says: PETE with a recycle symbol, a letter "F" and it's stamped Berry Plastics with a crown emblem. Hope that helps. There is a toll free number for questions: 800-9nature or www.naturesway.com

Seems to be low-density polyethylene (LDPE), like a frisbee or a milk jug. Product description says the non-slip bottom ring is silicone, and that it's made in the USA.

I returned them (color not as depicted in photos, and the vendor was unable to answer my questions about possible BPA content or where the jugs were made), so cannot answer your question about what the plastic/recycle number is.

It has a Plastic Recycling Code 5 Polypropylene (PP). Not sure how safe it is for long term use. Try doing some research on this code to see how safe it is. I found this website that kinda explains various recycling codes. (http://www.h2no.org/plastic_recycling_codes.asp). Hope it helps and good luck.

I am wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if this is BPA free or can give the recycling number listed in the triangle?

It is 4. Low-density polyethylene (PE-LD)Common products: Thin plastic bags, some plastic containers (e.g., soap dispensers)Recyclability: Can be recycled, but check to make sure it's accepted locally.Plastic Recycling symbol 04 PE-LD

Bottom of bag reads "Made with 100% Post Consumer Recycled Paper" and "USA Materials, Assembled in Mexico" -- does not have Duro name printed on bottom.

Hard to say.. that's a cheap price, so I would guess its recycled. I paid 10.00 for mine new. Check ebay, or just do a Google search and compare prices.
