Plastics - Recycled plastics - Characterisation of sorted plastics wastes
This document provides a scheme for the characterisation of sorted plastics wastes, laying out those properties for which the supplier of the waste shall make information available to the purchaser, and appropriate test methods where applicable. The scheme provides for a division of information between "Required characteristics", where a statement is required and additional "Optional characteristics" which the supplier should provide based on the contractual agreements.
This document is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.
NOTE This document does not cover the characterisation of plastics recyclates.

Dieses Dokument liefert ein Schema für die Charakterisierung von sortierten Kunststoffabfällen, wonach jene Eigenschaften umrissen werden, für die der Lieferant des Abfalls dem Käufer Informationen zugänglich machen und, falls anwendbar, angemessene Prüfverfahren angeben muss. Das Schema beinhaltet die Unterscheidung von Informationen in "geforderte Eigenschaften", deren Angabe erforderlich ist, und "optionale Eigenschaften", die der Lieferant auf Grundlage der vertraglichen Vereinbarungen angeben sollte.
Dieses Dokument beeinträchtigt bei seiner Anwendung keinerlei geltende Vorschriften.
ANMERKUNG Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit der Charakterisierung von Kunststoff-Rezyklaten.
Plastiques - Plastiques recyclés - Caractérisation des déchets de plastiques triés
Le présent document donne un cadre relatif la caractérisation des déchets de plastiques triés, présentant des propriétés pour lesquelles le fournisseur de ces déchets doit mettre des informations à la disposition de l’acheteur, et le cas échéant, des méthodes d’essai appropriées. Le cadre scinde les informations en « Caractéristiques requises », pour lesquelles une déclaration est demandée, et en « Caractéristiques optionnelles » supplémentaires qu’il est recommandé au fournisseur de fournir sur la base des accords contractuels.
Le présent document est applicable sans préjudice de toute réglementation existante.
NOTE Le présent document ne couvre pas la caractérisation des recyclats de plastiques.

Introduction
Recycling of plastics waste is one type of material recovery process intended to save resources (virgin
materials, water and energy), while minimizing harmful emissions into air, water and soil as well as any
impacts on human health. In order to be meaningful, the environmental impact of recycling should be
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, Plastics — Recycled plastics — Guidelines for the
development of standards for recycled plastics.
NOTE CEN/TR 15353 considers the general environmental aspects which are specific to the recycling process.
It is often impossible to trace back each individual product at the end user stage and to check whether
the product has been used correctly through its life. Consequently products are out of industrial control
for a period of time. It is possible that during this period contamination with other materials may occur
that could affect the product's suitability for recycling into the intended application.
