This may or may not make any difference - depends on local law for recyclables.
I did not mention the wiki entry in my previous post because the description for resin ID #7 is not correct. Because of this, some customers have requested that the material be marked with the string 'ABS' in the center in lieu of the resin ID. Perhaps a chemical recyclables expert could provide further clarification.
