ISRI adds plastic auto bumper specification
<![CDATA[
The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), Washington, has published a new specification for auto bumper plastics in the “Scrap Specifications Circular 2016.” The specification, which can be found on page 44 of the circular, reads:
“Name: Post Consumer TPO Plastic Automotive Bumper Covers
“Description: This grade consists of painted auto bumper covers removed from motor vehicles.
“Product: Post-Consumer Auto Part
“Source: Post-Consumer material generated by collision or refurbishment centers or automobile dismantlers.
“Contamination: The following parts must be removed from the bumper cover: head lamps, tail lamps, grills, emblems, rub strips, reflectors and any other components attached to the bumper. Everything attached to the bumper cover should be removed before baling.
“Contamination should be limited to small metal parts such as clips, bolts and screws.
“No TPU or RIM Plastic allowed.
“General: Refer to the “General Information” section for more information.”
ISRI says its scrap specifications are internationally recognized guidelines used by buyers and sellers of recycled materials and products, including nonferrous and ferrous scrap, cullet, paper stock, plastics, electronics and tire scrap. The specifications are intended to assist in the trading of scrap commodities and are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the expanding range of commercially recyclable materials.
