2Scope / Description
Plastic waterproofing sheets generate plastic waste at different stages during their life cycle: production, construction process, service life and end-of-life.
This document specifies the source of recyclate made from pre-consumer material and post-consumer material as it is used in new products. These new products can be plastic waterproofing sheets, other sheets, other construction products or other products.
It defines terms and definitions.
It gives guidance for assessing the recyclates intended for use in the production of new products.
This document is applicable for similar products as construction sheets or membranes consisting of polymers or plastic components such as: swimming pool membranes, geosynthetic membranes, garden ponds membranes, protection membranes, accessories based on thermoplastic material such as walkways, prefabricated pieces. The listing is not exhaustive.
NOTE The design for recycling of packaging, including the recycling itself, is defined in the CEN/TC 261 “Packaging”.
