The logo with 3 arrows going around a triangle and a number inside is a resin identification number (RIN), and has no relation to the recycling symbol (3 arrows going around a triangle with nothing inside) other than the arrows. It's meant to be deliberately confusing, to trick people into buying things made with unrecyclable plastics. Generally only resins 1 & 2 can be economically recycled, the rest get burned.
