In Germany and Austria, the term yellow bag (German: Gelber Sack) refers to a thin, yellowish transparent plastic bag, in which, in the context of local waste disposal, any waste made of plastic, metal or composite materials can be handed in. Depending on the agreement with the cities and municipalities, it may also be possible to use a 'yellow bin' (German: Gelbe Tonne). Yellow bags or yellow bins are part of the Dual System in the German waste management industry.
The waste collected in the yellow sack is mainly sorted mechanically in special sorting plants. In the first few years after the introduction of the Yellow Bag in 1991, the majority of waste still had to be sorted by hand, as the necessary techniques and machines were not available. In the 1990s, the corresponding technologies were developed and are now standard practice.
In some other European countries there are yellow dustbin containers for the disposal of light packaging. It is not necessary to pack the separated waste in a special waste bag before disposal.[1] The dimensions of a (folded) yellow bag are 90 cm × 62 cm. In the United Kingdom, yellow bags are used for clinical waste.[2]
