Packaging

Possible efforts

Collecting full on-pack recycling instructions
1. Ensuring packaging values annotated on HG Logos are applied
2. Processing data sent by manufacturers for recycling instructions (example) `recycling_instructions_to_recycle` `recycling_instructions_to_discard`
3. Augmenting REGEXes

Augmenting the data
1. Collecting packaging weight
  1. Add support on the website
  2. Add a section in the app
2. Collecting local recycling instructions
  1. OV is creating a form

Current issues to fix

The field is not taxonomized
Robotoff is extracting deconstructed values from recycling instructions (we need to collect them in full as well)
