13. What is the difference between post-consumer recycled materials and post- industrial recycled content materials?

Solution

Postconsumer material means a material or finished product that has served its intended use and has been diverted or recovered from waste destined for disposal, having completed its life as a consumer item.

Post-consumer recycled content is defined as waste materials generated by households or by commercial, industrial and institutional facilities in their role as end-users of a product, which can no longer be used for its initial purpose.
