DIN EN 15343:2008-02 EN 15343:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Recycling of plastic waste is one type of material recovery process intended to save resources (virgin raw materials, water, and energy), while minimising harmf

19、ul emissions into air, water and soil as well as any impacts on human health. The environmental impact of recycling has to 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

20、environmental option for treating the available waste, some prerequisites preferably should 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 sustaina

21、ble 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

22、for society. This standard 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 environmenta

23、l aspects which are specific to the recycling process. Legislation, international standards or end users may require traceability of the constituent components of products in order to allow better product control or to locate and withdraw unwanted material and/or defective products from the market.

24、The purpose of this standard is to describe the necessary procedures for mechanical recycling that are needed for products that have been manufactured completely or in part from recycled plastics and need proof of traceability. It will enable producers to use the recycled materials with confidence a

25、nd it will provide the end users with a basis for their acceptance. However it is often impossible to trace back each individual product at the end user stage and to check the use of the product through its life. Consequently products are out of industrial control for a period of time. It is possibl

26、e that during this period contamination with other materials may occur that could affect the products suitability for recycling into the intended applications. In that case the recyclers have two options. Either their input control or sorting equipment guarantee that contaminants do not enter the re

27、cycling process or the recyclers must use a qualified process in which the pollution and/or mixed materials are removed to such levels that they do not affect the intended application for the recycled material. In addition, during processing and use of the original product, chemical or structural ch

28、anges in the material, may have occurred. In that case the recyclers can recycle into new materials with reduced properties, or they can try to repair the material damage, or they enhance the material properties by addition of virgin components or additives. A recycling process should be designed su

29、ch that contaminants or material damage that might have an influence on the intended application are removed or repaired to such an extent that they will not negatively influence the suitability of the recycled material for the intended application. If such contamination or damage cannot be removed

30、or repaired during recycling, the purchase and/or DIN EN 15343:2008-02 EN 15343:2007 (E) 5 control of the incoming materials should guarantee that contaminated or damaged material does not enter the process in sufficient quantity to affect the properties of the recyclate. Controls of the input mater

31、ial, of the recycling process and of the material produced are the prime instruments that determine the quality of recycled products. If the origin of all the component parts of a product, virgin as well as recyclates, is known it is possible to calculate the recycled content of the product, a value

32、 which may be required by customers or regulators. DIN EN 15343:2008-02 EN 15343:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the procedures needed for the traceability of recycled plastics. This gives the basis for the calculation procedure for the recycled content of a product. This standar

33、d is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.

40、erial in a product 4 Methodology and procedures 4.1 Control of input material The collection and sorting schemes shall 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

41、 market outlets, preferably at minimum costs. Control of the input materials shall be carried out according to EN 15347. Batch identification shall be required. Collectors and sorters shall keep records on incoming and sorted products as set out in Table 1. NOTE Waste plastics are collected in diffe

42、rent ways depending on their origin. Household packaging can be collected via kerbside collection of specific fractions, by bring systems, where used products are deposited in containers by users, or by deposit systems. The collected waste is often concentrated at sorting centres where it can be sor

43、ted according to its colour, previous function or chemical composition. End of life products such as electronic equipment or vehicles are returned by the consumer to the supplier, then sent to specialised companies for dismantling and ultimate recovery of the plastics content. During demolition of c

44、ivil constructions, plastics-containing parts are separated out and sent to specialised companies for further sorting. Production waste is collected from the producers and converters, often by dealers who may granulate or otherwise concentrate it. 4.2 Control of the recyclate production process Cont

45、rol of the recycling process is required to guarantee proper functioning in line with good manufacturing practice. This will include: recording the process variables; quality control testing of the products delivered by the process; batch identification of the output. For specific applications, chal

46、lenge tests will be required to demonstrate that the process is capable of delivering products that meet the requirements of the application, for example food applications, automotive. 4.3 Plastics recyclate characterisation In order that the purchaser of the recyclate may have confidence in the qua

47、lity of the product, the supplier shall provide characteristics of the batch of recyclate following the relevant standard, e.g. EN 15342, EN 15344, EN 15345, EN 15346 or EN 15348. 4.4 Traceability To ensure the necessary traceability according to the intended application, the supplier of the recycla

48、te shall provide data for each stage described above (4.1, 4.2 and 4.3). See also Table 1. All procedures for the identification and the recording of the data shall be appropriately documented and recorded. DIN EN 15343:2008-02 EN 15343:2007 (E) 8 The purchaser shall ensure that the level of traceab

49、ility is suitable for the intended application. NOTE Since traceability of each individual item of waste is not realistic, and not necessary for qualified processes, the traceability should start from the sorting centers for household waste and end of life products. For industrial waste, traceability should start from the plastic producer or converter where the waste originates. The sorting centers and the recyclers should achieve traceability by giving each batch
