agree  French2English: I would think 'bodies' or 'objects' rather than products, however.

Hollow objects / flat objects


Explanation:
I came across a website which had translated this as above (although this does not necessarily confirm that it is correct- as we all know there are plenty of badly-translated websites out there!). I thought it might be helpful however, as I couldn't find any alternatives and it would make sense when speaking of types of waste. I hope it helps.

soft/ hollow or solid materials


Explanation:
Normally in recycling-which is the business I am currently working in, we talk of material types rather than objects. Depends on what feed material the text discusses.

agree  Ines26: For me either they are talking about the material itself... and not what is made of it
