A new ISO International Standard is expected to assist the emerging worldwide market for plastics recovery and recycling.
Because plastics products are traded internationally and many of the plastics resin manufacturing companies and industrial users are multinational companies, the introduction of ISO 15270:2008, Plastics – Guidelines for the recovery and recycling of plastics waste, is particularly opportune.
The new standard has been developed “to assist all plastics industry stakeholders in the development of a sustainable global infrastructure for plastics recovery and recycling a sustainable market for recovered plastics materials and their derived manufactured products”.
