A web seminar that packs a punch.
Here are the highlights for all those who deal with certified recyclates.
This web seminar on the certification of post-consumer recyclates, led by Andreas Holt, provides a comprehensive introduction to the current standards and processes for the traceability and certification of recycled plastics. Here are the key topics and results from the web seminar:
- Introduction to the certification of recyclates:
Andreas presents the importance of the certification of recyclates and explains the need to comply with European and national laws to increase recycling rates and to document the proportion of recyclates in products. - Recycling process according to DIN EN 15343:
The recycling process begins with the acceptance of waste and its conversion into recyclable materials. Andreas explains the DIN EN 15343 standard, which defines the standards for the recycling of plastics. - Transition from EuCertPlast to RecyClass:
The web seminar covers the transition from EuCertPlast certification to RecyClass, an accredited process according to DIN 17665. This change is driven by national legislation and the need for more reliable certification. - Modules and requirements for certification:
Various modules and requirements for the certification of recyclates are presented, including special requirements for food contact materials and decontamination techniques. - Blue Angel certificate:
The web seminar also covers the Blue Angel certificate, which is awarded to products that contain at least 80 % certified post-consumer recyclate. - Recyclability of products:
Another focus is on assessing the recyclability of products. Andreas presents various catalogues and online tools that can be used to assess and certify recyclability. - Traceability of recyclates:
The web seminar explains the traceability of recyclates through the entire value chain, including the documentation of the recyclate content and the use of models for mixing and control. - Other recyclate labels:
Other recyclate labels are also presented, which are awarded by various organisations to indicate the proportion of post-consumer recyclates in products.
Summary:
This web seminar provides a detailed introduction to the certification and traceability of post-consumer recyclates. It explains the current standards, processes and requirements needed to comply with legislation and increase recycling rates. Participants will gain valuable insights into the various certification schemes and the importance of the recyclability of products.
