[
8th
] Those product's packaging waste, that have both recyclable and non-recyclable parts and are very easily pulled apart, the non-recyclable has to be more substantial than a thin plastic bag (PAC3). Also here are cardboard boxed products of a *vital nature i.e., heavy or fragile products, biscuits and medicines etc., but with substantial non-recyclable.
Number of products listed in this page: 161.
Basically; PAC[3], but lots of non-recyclable.

For example:

(BWB/CS), covered by
plastic film
(BWB/CS), in a small
cardboard sleeve
(

).

part and perhaps you will need to use say, a knife risking injury, so be warned! Also here are multipack type products.
Number of products listed in this page: 0.

[
12th
] Those product's packaging waste, that have no recyclable and if there's any, it's virtually impossible to
P
ull
A
part. Also that product's waste, that I believe, has too much recyclable as compared to it's non-recyclable parts - is it really necessary? Those products that attempt to climb up my
PAC
grading, by just adding superfluous recyclable. Also cardboard boxed products that aren't of a *vital nature, having too much recyclable or even none at all, are here.
Number of products listed in this page: 555.
Basically; these can't be recycled - yet! Unnecessary, superfluous or just not recyclable!

For example:
Non-Biological, Washing Liquid, all
plastic container
(BWB/CS).
[
13th
] Bottom grade is unique in that I'm grading the product, not just the packaging.
Those product's that don't go into any recycling bin because, they are too contaminated, hazardous or toxic, to compost!! So don't put them in any bin, bag or garden compost, you will have to make special arrangements for their disposal.
Number of products listed in this page: 0.
For example:
NiCad (
Cadmium
) batteries, motor
engine oil
and
car batteries
.
