Packaging

Possible efforts

1. 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

1. 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)

Currently committed taxonomies

• Containers

  • https://static.openfoodfacts.org/data/taxonomies/containers.json
• Packagings: Materials + some containers + some recycling instructions
