Simplified Process for Plastic Waste Management

Categories of Plastic Packaging

Plastic is everywhere, from packaging used to protect to transporting products. Since there are different types of plastic, they affect the environment in different ways, so it’s better to handle them differently.

Category I

Hard plastic
As the name suggests, this includes rigid plastic used to protect items so that they can keep their shape. For example, plastic bottles or sturdy containers

Category II

Soft, flexible plastic
This category includes thin plastic that can bend easily, like plastic bags, wrappers, sachets, or pouches. These can be made from one type of plastic.

Category III

Multi-material
Multi-material includes layers of plastic and other materials (like foil or paper). For example, chip packets often have both a plastic and a metallic layer.

Category IV

Plastic sheets and compostable plastic
This includes compostable plastic items like plastic sheets or bags that break down more easily in the right way.
