The DataPoints are
- RecycledMaterialsUsedWeight (UnitDomain: Weight)
- RecycledMaterialsUsedPercentage (Unit: %)
Recyclability
Materials are recyclable if it can be collected, sorted, reprocessed, and ultimately reused in manufacturing or making another item.
This is about the part of a material that can be recycled.
DataPoints
