European foreword
This document (prEN 18067:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 “Plastics”,
the secretariat of which is held by SIS.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document is one part of a series of CEN publications on Plastics Recycling, which is structured as
follows:
— EN 15342, Plastics — Recycled plastics — Characterization of polystyrene (PS) recyclates
— EN 15343, Plastics — Recycled Plastics — Plastics recycling traceability and assessment of conformity
and recycled content
— EN 15344, Plastics — Recycled plastics — Characterization of Polyethylene (PE) recyclates

This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN and CENELEC by
the European Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these
requests for its Member States.
Introduction
Recycling plastic waste is one type of material recovery process intended to save resources (virgin raw
materials, water, and energy), while minimizing harmful emissions into air, water, and soil as well as
any impacts on human health. The environmental impact of recycling is assessed over the whole life
cycle of the recycling system (from the waste generation point to the disposal of final residues). To
ensure that recycling constitutes the best environmental option for treating the available waste, some
prerequisites should preferably be met:
— recycling scheme being contemplated should generate lower environmental impacts than
alternative recovery options;
— existing or potential market outlets should be identified that will secure a sustainable industrial
recycling operation;
— collection and sorting schemes should be properly designed to deliver recyclable plastics waste
fractions fitting reasonably well with the available recycling technologies and with the (changing)
needs of the identified market outlets, preferably at minimum costs to society.
This document has been produced in accordance with the guidance produced by CEN on Environmental
Aspects and in accordance with CEN/TR 15353.
NOTE CEN/TR 15353 considers the general environmental aspects, which are specific to the recycling
process.
During their life, products are temporarily out of industrial control. Consequently, at the end user stage,
it is often impossible to trace back each individual product and whether it has been used correctly
through its life cycle.
1 Scope
This document specifies the main characteristics and associated test methods for assessing of
acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-
finished/finished products.
It is intended to support parties involved in the use of ABS recyclates (rABS) to agree on specifications
for specific and generic applications.
This document does not cover the characterization of plastics wastes, which is covered by the
EN 15347 series, neither traceability topics which are covered by EN 15343.
