New plastics recycling specs published

26.02.2015

The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI; Washington, D.C.) announced today that nine new plastics specifications have been published in the Scrap Specifications Circular, after approval by the ISRI plastics division and board of directors. The updated circular was released in conjunction with the Plastics Recycling Conference, a gathering of more than 1,700 representative from the plastics recycling industry being held this week in Dallas, TX.

"The nine new plastics specs were designed to give definition and clarity in the plastics film market," said Robin Wiener, President of ISRI. "As the market for recycled plastics film evolved, ISRI members recognized the need for our specification to reflect their needs and were the driving force behind their adoption."
