EN 15342:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Recycling of plastics waste is one type of material recovery process intended to save resources (virgin raw materials, water, and energy), while minimising harmful emiss

18、ions 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 environm

19、ental 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 indu

20、strial 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 socie

21、ty. 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 environmental as

22、pects 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 th

23、at during this period contamination with other materials may occur that could affect the products suitability for recycling into the intended application. EN 15342:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines a method of specifying delivery condition characteristics for polystyrene (PS) recycla

24、tes. It gives the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing a single batch of PS recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-finished/finished products. It is intended to support parties involved in the use of recycled PS to agree on specifications for specif

25、ic and general applications. This standard does not cover the characterisation of plastics wastes. See EN 15347. This standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document

32、. The abbreviated terms are given in EN ISO 1043-1:2001. 4 Characterisation of PS recyclates A single batch is the quantity of recyclate that has homogeneous characteristics within the specified tolerances. The characteristics of PS recyclates, which shall be determined for every batch of recyclate,

33、 are given in Table 1, and are divided into two types: Required characteristics, needed to define PS recyclates in general, and required for all recyclates. Optional characteristics, needed to define PS recyclates according to customer specifications and applications. NOTE Polystyrene, or polystyren

34、e-containing, plastics wastes for recycling may contain a variety of styrenic polymers, such as General Purpose (crystal or expanded) PS, and Impact-modified PS (usually containing grafted rubber particles). There may also be copolymers containing -methyl styrene, butadiene, isoprene, acrylonitrile

35、etc., and there may even be other non-styrenic polymers. The properties and performance of recyclates derived from such wastes will depend on the relative proportions of those polymers. Some of these copolymers (MBS, SAN for example) are not miscible with polystyrene, and can have adverse effects on

36、 the recyclate properties. These characteristics shall be assessed using the test methods given in Table 1. Where possible, the supplier should provide information on the original application of the material. A Certificate of Analysis, giving the test results for each batch of recyclate shall be pro

37、vided by the supplier to the purchaser on request. The polystyrene content of the recyclate may be measured by a method agreed between the parties, who will also agree the required level of polystyrene. To secure the legal use of the recyclate, the supplier shall provide the necessary information ab

38、out the material composition of the recyclate, as specified by the purchaser.

NOTE Other tests may be carried out by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier and the results reported. 5 Quality assurance To ensure the purchaser of the recyclate may have confidence in the quality of the

43、 product, the supplier shall maintain records of the quality control carried out, including incoming materials, processes and finished products. NOTE 1 A quality management system certified to EN ISO 9001 may be a suitable guarantee of consistent recyclate quality. The specification and the standard

44、 deviation or range of values within and between batches of material shall be agreed between the supplier and the purchaser. EN 15342:2007 (E) 8 Where a statement of recycled content, or the previous history of the material, is requested, documentary evidence shall be provided, where there is no ana

45、lytical method available to supply such information. These records should be available to the purchaser on request. Where a recyclate has been produced via a melt process, the supplier may choose to state the level of filtration applied during that process. This will determine the maximum size of an

46、y non-melting contaminants present in the recyclate. The statement of filtration level shall include details of the filter. Recyclates that have not passed through a melt process cannot be quantified in the same way, and the supplier may state this. NOTE 2 EN 15343 describes a qualified recycling pr

47、ocess and gives details of traceability and the assessment of recycled content. EN 15342:2007 (E) 9 Annex A (normative) Test Method for the determination of bulk density A.1 Scope This test method specifies a method of determining the bulk density, i.e. the mass per unit of volume, of loose material

48、 (powder or granular material) that can be poured from a funnel of specific design. When the method is applied to relatively coarse materials rather variable results may be obtained, owing to the error introduced when a straightedge blade is drawn across the top of the cylinder. Knowledge of bulk de

49、nsity is of limited value in estimating the relative fluffiness or bulk of moulding materials, unless their densities in the moulded condition are approximately the same. It therefore gives a fairly good idea of stability of mixing, presence of humidity and stability between batches (consistency).
