Many local governments in Japan have stipulated that labels should be removed for separate collection of PET bottles, but recently there has been a method of making labels made of PET and recycling them together with PET bottles. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the amount of waste reduction and material recycling that can be achieved by recycling labels and bottles together, and for this purpose, we proposed a method of estimating the amount of PET bottles from households based on household consumption.
