EN 15343 – Traceability of Recycled Plastics
EN 15343 is a European Standard that specifies the procedures needed for the traceability of recycled plastics and sets the basis for calculating recycled content in plastic products.
The standard serves as a guide for the use of recycled plastic materials. Within this standard, requirements are defined for the production, quality, and processing of recycled plastics.
Key aspects
- Specification requirements: The standard sets requirements for the production of recycled plastic materials, including collection, sorting, cleaning, and processing of plastic waste.
- Quality requirements: The standard sets requirements for the quality of recycled plastic materials, encompassing physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.
- Processing requirements: Definition of requirements for the processing of recycled plastic materials, including product manufacturing, repair, recycling, and blending with other materials.
Applicability
EN 15343 is applicable to various entities of all size, especially for:
- Plastic Manufacturers: To validate and communicate the recycled content in their products.
- Recyclers: To ensure traceability and quality control throughout the recycling process.
- Packaging Companies: To demonstrate compliance with sustainability standards and meet consumer demand for environmentally friendly products.
