PUBLIC NOTICE:
ISRI Board to Consider Changes to Recycled Plastic Specifications

(September 28, 2023 - Washington, D.C.) – The ISRI Board of Directors will consider the following proposed changes to the Guidelines for Recycled Plastic that were approved by the ISRI Plastics Division on September 20, 2023 at its upcoming Fall Board Meeting in Denver, Colo. on October 18, 2023:

Revised Specifications:

Specification: PP Small Rigid Plastic

Specification: Mixed Small Rigid Plastic

Specification: Mixed Bulky Rigid Plastic

The full Board may choose to adopt, amend, or reject the recommendations of the Division or table them pending further review. More information about the rules governing the procedures from the addition, amendment, or withdrawal of ISRI’s Specifications can be found in the ISRI Specifications. To submit comments, recommendations, or questions please contact ISRI Chief Economist Joe Pickard (jpickard@isri.org) or ISRI Senior Economist Bret Biggers (bbiggers@isri.org). If adopted or amended, there will be an open comment period for 30 days following the vote by the Board.

These three proposed revisions combine nine expecting specifications to reflect current trading in the marketplace. ISRI would like to thank the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for contributing their expertise in the development of these revisions.

For more than 100 years, the ISRI specifications have helped promote consistency and quality in the trade of recycled materials in the U.S. and around the world. Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration this invaluable resource is accessible online to anyone at any time.
