Chasing The Loop

The recycling logo is probably one of the most recognisable symbols around the world today . The Americans celebrated the first Earth Day in April 1970 . For the event , school and collage student were invited to design a logo paper recycling . Garry Anderson's design won him the contest . His recycling symbol represented a Mobius loop that was made up of three arrows in the shape of a triangle . Each arrow was drawn twisting and turning itself and chasing the other . 

Symbol of meaning 

The three arrows stand for the three steps that make up the recycling process . The first step is the collection of recyclable material - either from a person's doorstep or from a nearby collection centre . The collected materials is then sorted and cleaned and sold to centres that make new product out of them . This is the second step. Finally , the new products are sold to people . When we buy recycled products , we close the loop .This is  the third step .

Learning the loop

The original Mobius meant that the product had been recycled and had been made from 100% waste material . Today , there are many colours , numbers , and codes that have been added to the loop  Sometimes the three arrows are printed on a green , black , blue background or on no background at all . They can also appear with or without a circle . The arrows are also shown anti - clockwise or reversed - out . The symbol often appears with a percentage number .
