Following the approval of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industry’s (ISRI) Plastics Division, a series of new, revised, and deleted plastic scrap specifications will be presented to the ISRI board of directors at the next board meeting to be held in November 2016, in Salt Lake City.
The proposed changes are intended to better reflect what commodities are being traded in order to assist members in the buying and selling of materials. The proposed plastic specification changes were developed in consultation with plastic scrap recycling industry members and other plastics industry associations.
At the board of directors meeting, the 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 scrap specifications can be found in the Scrap Specifications Circular.
To submit comments, recommendations, or questions contact either Jonathan Levy or Joe Pickard. There will be an open comment period for 30 days following the vote by the board.
