I know that plastic recycling was a scam for the most part (types ~~5 & 7~~ 4 & 6 specifically). ~~But that's type 2 plastic (HDPE) which is properly recyclable in 99% of places. So that's a plus.~~

Edit: Apparently my eyes are shit and that is type 5. So no silver-lining here after all, just more dread.

Edit 2: I've been informed that types 4 & 6 (plastic bags/wraps and Styrofoam) are the bad plastics. So this is recyclable in a lot of places. Silver lining restored!

The packaging? I think you may have misread it. It's 5.

I think you need to zoom in. You're looking at it from the back, so it's not a 2, it's a 5, and it says PP for polypropylene next to the resin identification number.
