New ISO standard for plastic recovery

New ISO standard for plastic recovery

ENDS Europe DAILY 2589, July 21, 2008

International standardisation body ISO has issued a new standard for the recovery of plastics waste to help industry develop a sustainable global market in this area. The standard specifies options for the recovery of industrial and post-consumer plastics waste. Plastics waste can either be recycled or used to produce heat and electricity, according to the guidelines. Recovery options should be commercially viable and lead to reduced environmental impact, and stakeholders should make sure waste collection and quality control systems are in place. See ISO press release.
