06 · COLLECTION & RECOVERY
The next life is local.
Keep a useful object in service through reuse or repair where appropriate. For end of life, identify the whole item and its local collection programme; material composition alone does not establish acceptance or a destination facility.
Steel
Metal recovery programmes differ by place and item size. A metal object is not automatically accepted with packaging.
Rubber / elastomer
Tyres have dedicated return and recovery options in many places. Other rubber goods need their own acceptance check.
