Collection rates for plastic waste from most non-packaging sources are lower than rates for waste from the packaging sector. This is likely to be the result of the longer lifetime of non-packaging items, which leads to a build-up in homes and businesses of non-packaging plastic stocks-both of products in use and of those no longer in use, but kept in storage.
