Products & Services concerned

Certain plastic waste (specifically thermoplastic waste) which is mechanically treated and which, once meeting the end-of-waste criteria defined in the order, will no longer be considered as waste.

Related EU Law

- Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical regulations and of rules on information society services.

Explanation

This is a flow that currently does not have a single regulatory framework at European Union level.

Summary

This Ministerial Order, which is valid throughout the territory of the State, lays down the requirements to be met by thermoplastic waste eligible for mechanical treatment, the requirements to be met by such recovery treatments, the quality criteria to be met by the resulting material after the recovery operation in line with the applicable product standards, as well as the procedure for verifying compliance with end-of-waste criteria through management systems. All this for the purpose of mechanically treated thermoplastic waste is no longer considered waste.
