Material Concentration

材料集中
Material Concentration refers to the point in the recycling lifecycle when a waste material receives primary handling. This may include, but is not limited to, sorting, screening, basic contaminant removal,or baling. Material is still unprocessed at this stage, meaning it has not been physically or chemically ；altered beyond basic handling (e.g.: screening, crushing, or washing). 
材料集中是指在循环周期中，废料接受基本处理时的时间点。可能包括但不限于排序、筛选、基本污染物去除或打捆。在这个阶段，材料仍然未经处理，这意味着除基本处理（例如：筛选、粉碎或洗涤）之外，尚未发生物理或化学改变。
For example:
例如：
?  Government organization (e.g.: municipality) 
?  政府机构（如：自治市）
?  Non-profit organization 
?  非盈利机构
?  Business entity (e.g.: brokers) 
?  业务实体（例如：中间商）
Material Recycling
材料回收
Material Recycling refers to the point in the recycling lifecycle when a Reclaimed Material is processed into a Recycled Material.
材料回收是指在循环周期中，将回收的材料处理成回收材料的时间点。
Post-Consumer Material
消费后材料
Material generated by households or by commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities in their role as end-users of the product that can no longer be used for its intended purpose. This includes returns ofmaterials from the distribution chain. 

由家庭或商业、工业和机构设施作为最终产品用户产生的、不能再用于其预期用途的材料。包括从分销链中回收的材料。 

Pre-Consumer Material
消费前材料
Material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Excluded is the reutilization of materials such as rework, regrind or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within ；the same process that generated it. 
在制造过程中从废物流中转移出的材料。排除返工、回收或在处理过程中产生的，并可在产生该过程的同一过程中回收的材料的二次利用。 
Reclaimed Materia
回收的材料
Material that would have otherwise been disposed of as waste or used for energy recovery, but has instead been collected and reclaimed as a material input, in lieu of new primary material, for a recycling process. 
未作为废物处理或用于能量回收，而是作为材料投入而被收集和回收，并代替新的原始材料，用于回收处理的材料。
Recycled Content
回收材料含量
Proportion, by mass, of Recycled Material in products or packaging. Only Pre-Consumer and Post-Consumer Materials shall be considered as Recycled Content. 
产品或包装中以质量计的回收材料的比例。只有消费前和消费后材料才被视为回收含量。
Recycled Material
回收材料
Material that has been reprocessed from Reclaimed Material by means of a manufacturing process and made into a final product or into a component for incorporation into a product. 
已经通过再处理从制造过程中回收利用，并制成最终产品或组合成产品的材料
