This document specifies the suitable procedures and methods for the decommissioning of cyclotrons used by physics experiments and radioisotope production. For this purpose, computer simulation and real measurement of activated materials method can be employed.

This document provides a process that manages the identification of the level of compatibility of plastic packaging features with collection, sorting and recycling, describing the level of compatibility as fully, limited, and not recyclable. This standard covers any plastic packaging where the main body is made of plastic material. It targets to harmonize the design for recycling standard approach for each resin.

This document covers the design of PET bottles with respect to compatibility of the design with the collecting, sorting, and recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PET are also covered by this standard as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document covers the design of PET rigid packaging (except bottles) with respect to compatibility of the design with the collecting, sorting, and recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PET are also covered by this standard as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document is an input for a standard on the recyclability evaluation process of plastic packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with the collecting and sorting processes for the plastic used. This document covers any household plastic packaging where the main body is made of PET, PE, PP or PS material.

This document covers the design of EPS rigid packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with the collecting, sorting, and recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PS are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document covers the design of PE and PP flexible packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with the collecting, sorting, and recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PE and PP are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document covers the design of PS and XPS rigid packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with the collecting, sorting, and recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PS are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document covers the design of PE and PP flexible packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with recycling processes available for PE and PP packaging. Packaging constituents and components used in/on PE and PP flexible packaging but made of materials other than PE and PP are also covered by this document as these need to be evaluated for compatibility with PE and PP mechanical recycling processes.

This document covers the design of EPS packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than EPS are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document covers recyclability evaluation process guidance for PS and XPS packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with recycling processes for the polymers used.

This document provides requirements for the evaluation process for PET Bottles with respect to compatibility of the design with recycling processes. Packaging components and ancillary elements made of other materials than PET are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated for compatibility with the recycling processes.

This document covers the design of PE and PP rigid with respect to compatibility of the design with recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PE and PP are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document covers the design of PET pots and trays with respect to compatibility of the design with recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PET are also covered by this document as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document covers the design of PE and PP rigid packaging with respect to compatibility of the design with the collecting, sorting, and recycling processes. Packaging constituents and packaging components made of other materials than PE and PP are also covered by this standard as they need to be evaluated on compatibility with polymer recycling.

This document establishes the terms, definitions, methodologies, and calculations that are necessary for the recovery of waste from plastic products and materials labelled as industrially compostable (hereafter referred to as compostable plastic waste) through organic recycling. The document identifies the different types of organic recycling technologies used in the recovery and subsequent recycling of industrially compostable plastics waste arising from pre-consumer and post-consumer sources. This document also establishes the requirements and calculations to be considered in evaluating organic recycling inputs and outputs and determining output classifications for the recycling operation and the downstream integration points.

The document also outlines general quality requirements to be applied in all steps of the recovery process, and provides general recommendations for inclusion in material standards, test standards and product specifications. The process stages, requirements, recommendations, and terminology presented in this document are intended to be of general applicability.

This document does not establish test methods and criteria for the definition of the organic recyclability (e.g. compostability) of plastic materials and products.

This document refers to plastic waste deriving from products that have been classified as suitable for recovery through organic recycling by the relevant reference standards (e.g., ISO 17088, ISO 18606) and therefore labelled as industrially compostable. These products are generally called “industrially compostable” (e.g. compostable bag, compostable tableware) meaning “suitable for organic recycling”, independently of the final treatment technology (whether it is true aerobic composting, or a combination of anaerobic digestion and composting, or only anaerobic digestion).

This document does not address home composting because this gardening practice cannot be classified as recycling.
