Plastics — Mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) recyclate derived from PP and PE used for flexible and rigid consumer packaging — Part 1: Designation system and basis for specification
ISO 18263-1:2015 establishes a system which can be used as the basis for specifications for mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) recyclate. It covers mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) recyclate derived from PP and PE used for flexible and rigid consumer packaging for moulding and extrusion. Recyclate from packaging used for the transport, handling, or storage of hazardous goods shall not be used. It does not apply to mixtures of recyclates and virgin resin. It does not apply to the mixtures containing special type of PE or PP, for example, PE-UHMW, TPO, etc. The types of mixtures of PP and PE recyclate are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on appropriate levels of the designatory properties. a) Composition b) Melt mass-flow rate c) Density d) Colour It is not intended to imply that materials having the same designation give necessarily the same performance. ISO 18263-1:2015 does not provide engineering data, performance data, or data on processing conditions which may be required to specify a material for a particular application and/or method of processing. If additional properties are required, they shall be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in ISO 18263-2, if applicable.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Plastics — Mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and
polyethylene (PE) recyclate derived from PP and PE used
for flexible and rigid consumer packaging —
Part 1:
Designation system and basis for specification
1 Scope
This part of ISO 18263 establishes a system which can be used as the basis for specifications for
mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) recyclate.
It covers mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) recyclate derived from PP and PE used
for flexible and rigid consumer packaging for moulding and extrusion. Recyclate from packaging used
for the transport, handling, or storage of hazardous goods shall not be used.
It does not apply to mixtures of recyclates and virgin resin.
It does not apply to the mixtures containing special type of PE or PP, for example, PE-UHMW, TPO, etc.
