Our definitions of recycling need to be expanded and harmonized

Hard-to-recycle packaging under our existing recycling systems and are often excluded from curbside programs. In the case of foodservice packaging, while some may be recyclable or compostable, fears around food contamination or a lack of access to disposal services further hinders their recovery efforts. We need to grow and encourage research and development to identify the most effective ways to collect, sort, and reprocess emerging packaging materials and technologies so our recovery system is prepared for future consumption trends.

我們對回收的定義需要擴展和統一。在我們現有的回收系統下難以回收的包裝，經常被排除在路邊計劃中。 就餐飲服務包裝而言，儘管其中一些可能是可回收利用或可堆肥的，但人們對食品污染的擔憂或缺乏處置服務的渠道進一步阻礙了其恢復工作。 我們需要發展並鼓勵研發，以找出最有效的方法來收集，分類和再加工新興的包裝材料和技術，以便我們的回收系統為未來的消費趨勢做好準備。
