ISO/DIS 15270-2

This Draft International Standard is in the enquiry phase with ISO members.

Will replace ISO 15270:2008

Abstract

This document specifies guidelines for the mechanical recycling of plastics waste. It includes the processing of post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste using mechanical methods to produce recycled plastic materials.

This document covers various aspects of the recycling process including

— compounding,

— extrusion and

— decontamination.

The steps for preparation of plastic waste prior to entering the recycling process are described in ISO 15270-1, 6.2, and are therefore not included in this standard.
