How to separate plastic from expired food?

Food waste and expired food are on the rise, and just because people don’t talk about it doesn’t mean the problem isn’t there or widespread. In many food establishments, supermarkets and canteens, a large proportion of the regular waste production consists of packaged products. They usually consist of two completely different types of materials, making them a very difficult and expensive piece of junk to dispose of. A common solution to dispose of expired food is to send it directly to landfills, which has a double negative impact: on the one hand, it has an economic impact on the company’s business, leading to the outflow of waste disposal funds, and on the other hand, it inevitably pollutes the environment.
