PD CEN/TR 13688:2008 Packaging - Material recycling - Report on requirements for substances and materials to prevent a sustained impediment to recycling [Superseded: DS DS/CEN/CR 13688]
This Report provides some examples of substances and materials that may cause a sustained impediment in
the recycling activities, and is intended to assist in the assessment requirements set out in the standard
EN 13430.
It describes substances or materials which cause problems or inhibit the recycling process, or which have a
negative influence on the quality of recycled material, and for which it is considered that technological
solutions will not be developed in the near future.
These examples are however qualified by the fact that the recycling operations can vary from region to region
and state to state, that technology is constantly changing, and that the use to which the recycled material is
put will also determine whether such substances and materials are a problem.
