Packaging - Design for recycling of plastic packaging - Part 15: Recyclability evaluation process for plastic packaging - Protocols for EPS packaging

Scope

This document provides requirements for the evaluation process of any rigid packaging which has its main component, in weight, predominantly made of EPS, with respect to compatibility of the design with recycling processes.
Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than EPS are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.
Unless otherwise stated, in the interests of better readability, ‘EPS packaging’ always includes ‘EPS white goods packaging and fish boxes’.
