Post-consumer waste
Post-consumer waste is produced by the end consumer of a material stream. This is waste that does not lead to the production of another product. Though it can be recycled, post-consumer waste is typically thrown in the garbage, incinerated, or poured down the drain. Examples of post-consumer waste are used batteries and packaging.
