02Material production
Growing, harvesting and any processing depend on the actual food or plant. Use its label to narrow the investigation.

04Distribution
Material inputs, component factories, assembly, distribution and sale can involve separate journeys. Country markings and receipts narrow the investigation; shipment records establish actual movements.

Reuse, maintenance and repair depend on the object’s construction. A model or care label can identify compatible parts, repair methods and limits. Usage history and wear cannot be established from a category alone.

06Collection & recovery
Prevent food waste first. Composting or local organics collection may be appropriate where that item is accepted.

07Remaining waste
After sorting or treatment, residues still need an accepted handling route. The local authority or receiving operator must establish the treatment and destination for this exact item.
