  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

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
