Search for an item and see which Danish waste category it should be sorted into. Try pizza box, coffee filter or battery.
Fruit net should be sorted as:

Plastic
If it is clean plastic netting
Plast

Residual waste
If dirty or mixed
Restaffald
Fruit nets from oranges, onions and similar produce can be sorted as plastic if they are empty, clean and clearly made of plastic. If the net is dirty, has metal clips, cardboard labels or mixed materials, sort it as residual waste. Remove separate cardboard or metal parts where easy.
If your municipality does not collect this category at your home, you can do this.
Alternative: Municipal recycling centre, local collection point or shared collection station. Do not automatically use residual waste.
There is no general substitute category. The municipality must provide a residual-waste scheme; contact it if you cannot access one.
