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.
Plastic
Resin identity alone does not establish collection acceptance. Check the exact object type with your local programme.
