On any product ( for ex. Plastic food container) . There is a recycling symbol with a number inside ( ie. 1,2,3,...). I understand that they are the numbers that tell you what class the product resides into the chain of recycling. ( Which one is the most biodegradable, etc...) I want to know where do I read about this classifications? As I have a food container in my hand which says '6' inside the triengle.

Thank you in advance.
