07 · THE MATERIAL LEFT BEHIND
Every process leaves a remainder.
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.
Before collection
Keep reusable parts in service. Confirm the exact item and any hazardous contents with the collection programme.
During treatment
Ask which materials are recovered, what residues remain, and how those outputs are recorded.
Final destination
Look for a receiving-site record and an accepted treatment route. A nearby landfill or recycler does not establish the destination.
