PD ISO/TR 17098:2013

This standard PD ISO/TR 17098:2013 Packaging material recycling. Report on substances and materials which may impede recycling is classified in these ICS categories:

• 55.020 Packaging and distribution of goods in general

This Technical Report provides a non-exhaustive overview of substances and materials that may cause a sustained impediment to recycling activities and is intended to assist in the assessment requirements set out in ISO 18604

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, where technical solutions are not expected to be developed in the near future.

These examples are, however, qualified by the fact that the recycling operations can vary regionally, that technology is constantly changing, and that the use to which the recycled material is put will also determine whether the presence of such substances and materials is a problem.
