Plastics—Testing and characterization of mechanically recycled polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) for intended use in different plastics processing techniques

This standard specifies test and characterization methods for mechanically recycled polypropylene and polyethylene recyclates intended for use in different plastics processing techniques. It applies to quality evaluation, performance verification and determination of processing suitability for relevant recyclates. Recyclate producers, compounding and processing enterprises, product manufacturers and testing bodies may use it to conduct material testing and technical evaluation, providing a uniform methodological basis for material selection, quality control and application of recyclates in plastics processing. This standard is a modified adoption of ISO 5677:2023.
