I noticed a recycling emblem on some plastic chairs at work, with the words " the reason for the resin - fully recyclable "

At first I - like everyone else - thought the chairs were made from recycled plastic.

Nope. Recyclable

I flipped the chair over and it was # 7 plastic - a plastic that most facilities reject.

Jerks.

Sort of like ShopVac brand vacuums. On the box it has a big logo that says " We're an American brand ! "

Made in the USA of global components .

So by having the thing ASSEMBLED in the USA , they can say its made here.

Or like the bottom of my Apple laptop that says " designed in California "

....um.....yah....so what ! It's made in China !
