The information on sustainability labels found on packaging – both for food and non-food products – concerns correct waste management procedures for the packaging and/or containers after use.
Where such labelling is not present, the correct waste management procedures are those outlined below.
The term ‘compound products’ refers to materials of any kind used to contain certain goods, from raw materials to finished products. Check each component with the acronyms or symbols listed in the tables below to find out how to recycle the item.
Always check with local regulations to ensure that the materials are recyclable according to the general indications in the tables.
