Specification "based" for some H05 vocabulary terms

[mmolinajack]

Hi @gwemon ,
in discussion with @Osanna123 and having a look at the Guidance on Monitoring of Marine Litter in European Seas (e.g. MSFD Technical Subgroup on Marine Litter, 2023) we have agreed that it would be more correct to add the adjective "based" to some of the polymer types: Polyethylene based, polyester based and probably others according to the guidance.
How do you want to approach this?
Thanks,
Eugenia and @mattevi78

Please just submit the modifications you want to make term by term and indicate whether you prefer the term to be deprecated and a new term created or alternatively modify the existing term as I would consider this to be a minor changes to the existing concept. Happy to go with what you @mmolinajack + @Osanna123 + @mattevi78 prefer.

@mmolinajack having looked into more details at the report linked to this ticket and the table Table 7.5. Polymer types for data reporting I am now confused about what is being requested. Do you wnat us to align to what is presently in table 7.5? If this is the case then the new concept created earlier should have been "polycarbonate based" and not just "polycarbonate" with the definition you suggested which defines exactly what "polycarbonate" is but not what a "polycarbonate based" litter object is?

I am reproducing a reformatted version of table 7.5 below.
In an ideal word, is this what you would like H05 to include? Those exact labels and concepts? It is possible to do that using deprecation and creation of new terms, including if preferred the option to keep existing terms as separate entities (e.g. metal and glass under separate concepts) but I need to be certain I understand your exact "ideal" requirement.
