Recommended Practice for Documentation of Recycled HDPE

The purpose of this procedure is to establish a standardized method for documenting the origin of post-consumer HDPE bottles and the resulting post-consumer resin. It defines the criteria for identifying post-consumer HDPE and distinguishes it from post-industrial materials. By providing a uniform set of criteria, bottle producers can effectively specify post-consumer HDPE resins for their internal use. This procedure ensures consistency and transparency in the utilization of post-consumer materials within the industry.
