Explanation:
"no hay" means "there is no" (etc.) in Spanish: from the picture it could mean "non-recyclable"

found this and looked at it after above comment (;-)) - perhaps they confused the "m" with an "h"

This says "No HAY RECLAIH". Perhaps they meant non-recyclable???

Good idea - they might have wanted to say "no may reclaim" - a word to word translation from Chinese :) Thanks!
