Packaging

Possible efforts

1. Collecting full on-pack recycling instructions
   1. Adding a specific button in the iOS and Android apps (if packaging instructions are empty)
   2. Ensuring packaging values annotated on HG Logos are applied
   3. Processing data sent by manufacturers for recycling instructions (example)
   4. Augmenting REGEXes
2. 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

• Recycling bins
