DIN EN 15347 Characterization Testing of Household Plastic Wrap Waste
The DIN EN 15347 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the characterization testing of household plastic wrap waste, which is essential for effective recycling and resource management. This service ensures that manufacturers of household wraps can meet stringent environmental regulations while maintaining product quality.
Household plastic wraps are typically made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and other thermoplastics, which must be properly characterized to ensure they are suitable for recycling processes. The testing procedure outlined in DIN EN 15347 involves several key steps:
- Sample Preparation: Samples of household plastic wrap waste are collected from various sources and prepared according to specified guidelines.
- Identification of Polymer Type: Using spectroscopic techniques, the polymer type is identified. This step is crucial for ensuring that the material can be sorted correctly in recycling facilities.
- Thermal Analysis: The melting point and thermal stability of the plastic are determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
- Mechanical Properties Testing: Strength, elongation at break, and other mechanical properties are evaluated to assess the performance of the material.
- Bulk Density Measurement: The bulk density is measured to understand how the material behaves in different recycling processes.
- Color Analysis: Color is quantified using spectrophotometric methods. This helps in understanding the color consistency and potential for mixing with other materials during recycling.
The results of these tests are used by manufacturers to optimize their product formulations, ensuring that waste from household wraps can be efficiently recycled into new products without compromising quality or performance. Compliance with this standard is critical for companies looking to meet environmental standards and improve sustainability practices.
For a more detailed understanding of the testing process and its importance in the recycling industry, it is recommended to consult the full text of DIN EN 15347, which provides extensive guidance on sample preparation, test methods, and interpretation of results.
