PET(PETE). Pilythene Terephthalate. One of the most
famous food packaging symbols, although most people
hardly know any details about it. It is a plastic material
used in the production of drink bottles, microwaveable
food trays and food containers. 90% of this material is
recyclable and the three arrows are set to remind you of
just that.

Fair Trade. Whenever you see this symbol you should
know the contents of the package have been produced in
a developing country. These products have met
international FAIRTRADE standards.

Lion Mark. Those of you who are parents have probably
seen this image plenty of times when buying or receiving
a toy over a courier. If not, you should pay more attention
to what you buy for your children. This consumer symbol
means the specific toy was manufactured according rules
and regulations of the BTHA (British Toy and Hobby
Association). Said in one sentence, you've bought your
child a high quality toy.

British Kite Mark. This well known symbol is a
representation of both quality and safety. You are most
likely to see this symbol on products where safety is
paramount such as: fire extinguishers, ladders, helmets
and so on. The certification mark is property of the The
British Standards Institution (BSI Group)
