Packaging design choices — material type, colour and components — materially affect recyclability and the incomes of informal waste collectors. Design-for-recycling improves sorting value, while mixed materials and inks reduce it. Practical implications for pack manufacturers include prioritising single polymers, clear labelling, and avoiding hard-to-separate components; for collectors and aggregators, design changes alter the types and quantities of material worth recovering.
