Post consumer waste is human waste from every say life that has never been previously recycled. It consists of things like junk mail, packaging, used newspapers/magazines, used batteries, broken toys and ripped clothes. Things that also fall into this category are food waste, weeds, fallen leaves, water and also human waste.
The Environmental Protection Agency report that America produce approximately 220 million tons of post consumer waste a year. We do not have a world wide figure yet but America is only 4% of the worlds population so we can work out that the figure is very high.
Issues around this waste are what we do with it, how much of it is unneeded waste, and the fact that it harms other living things around us such as animals.
