Thermoplastics pipes and fittings - Design for recycling guidelines
Abstract
This document specifies design for recycling guidelines for thermoplastics pipes and fittings, used as construction products or used for water supply to irrigation systems. Note 1: Components used in irrigation systems such as flexibles and drip lines are not part of this document. Note 2: Pipes and fittings used for cable management are not part of this document. Note 3: Packaging of pipes and fittings is not part of this document. The guidelines in this document are developed to facilitate mechanical recycling. Note 4: The guidelines could also be beneficial for chemical recycling. Thermoplastics pipes and fittings are considered to be those, where the total volume of the thermoplastic compound/formulation exceeds 50%. This document can also be used for other thermoplastics products used in a piping system such as manholes, inspection chambers, infiltration boxes and valves.
