ISO 15270 Plastics Waste Recovery and Recycling Testing

ISO 15270 Plastics Waste Recovery and Recycling Testing

The ISO 15270 standard is a cornerstone in the plastics industry, specifically addressing waste recovery and recycling. This service ensures that plastic materials are accurately tested to determine their suitability for reprocessing into new products. The primary focus of this testing lies in identifying the type of polymer, its chemical composition, and any additives present, which helps manufacturers ensure compliance with regulations and environmental standards.

The process begins with sample preparation where plastics waste is carefully cleaned and categorized based on color, shape, and other characteristics. Once prepared, specimens are subjected to various analytical techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) for polymer identification, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for additive analysis, and Elemental Analysis (EA) for elemental composition assessment.

Quality assurance is critical in this process. The testing adheres to international standards such as ISO 15270:2006 which defines the methodology for determining the chemical characteristics of plastics waste materials intended for recycling or reprocessing. Compliance with these standards ensures that recycled plastic products meet the quality and safety requirements set by regulatory bodies worldwide.

By leveraging our expertise in this area, we can help your organization navigate the complexities of sustainable plastics management. Our team of experienced professionals will guide you through every step of the process, from sample preparation to final report generation, ensuring accurate and reliable results that meet both industry standards and customer expectations.

  • FTIR Analysis: Identifies polymer types accurately.
  • GC-MS Analysis: Detects and quantifies additives in plastics.
  • Elemental Analysis (EA): Determines elemental composition of the waste material.
  • Compliance with ISO 15270:2006: Ensures accurate characterization for recycling and reprocessing purposes.

In conclusion, our ISO 15270 plastics waste recovery and recycling testing service provides comprehensive insights into the chemical characteristics of plastic materials intended for reuse. By adhering to rigorous international standards, we ensure that your recycled products meet all necessary requirements, thereby enhancing both sustainability efforts and market competitiveness.
