Plastic
Plastic is divided into A) Hard and soft plastic packaging B) Other plastic
A) Plastic packaging examples: bottles, cans, boxes, containers, empty plastic spray cans, bags, plastic foil, styrofoam and disposable plastic dinnerware (not plastic cutlery which is classified as combustible waste). Plastic packaging is covered by producer responsibility and must be sorted out from other waste. Plastic packaging that contains residues of labeling obligated chemicals or infectious materials must not be sorted as hard plastic packaging. These are handled as chemical waste and infectious agents.
B) Other plastic that is not packaging, e.g. flower pots, plastic cutlery and dish brushes are not covered by producer responsibility and should therefore not be sorted together with hard plastic packaging. Other plastics are classified as combustible waste.
