Abstract

This document shall take into account all currently known processes that are suitable to enable the circular economy for insulation materials. Particular attention should be paid to ensuring that the most energy-efficient processes are given preference, especially mechanical recycling, unless reuse is already ruled out. For some of these processes, many years of practical experience are already available, so that a basic knowledge base for the development of a guideline is already available. At the same time, future-oriented processes should also be taken into account, for which for the moment little but increasing experience is available or which have so far only been implemented on a small scale. This document specifies the general "design for recycling" guidelines for EPS insulation products. It provides guidance on impact of specific design characteristics on the recyclability of the product in practice and recommended design options to ensure the product is recyclable, including target values and performance ranges where applicable. It also provides definition of recyclable product and of design-for-recycling.
