Possible Solution
Let the product speak for itself !
Logo on the packaging will help consumers understand and decide which what go in what bin. The logo would describe both the packaging and the product inside the packaging and where we should throw each one.
This will help in segregation at the source level especially where people do not understand which is dry and wet waste. This logo is graphic element so no language barrier and can be used in all countries.
The logo here, tells about the kind of waste the packaging is. In this case it says that it is dry waste
The logo in this section mentions what kind of waste is the content inside.
Over here, it tells that the content inside is organic waste or wet waste.
