Use of Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic Material in the Manufacture of New Plastic Drums: Request for Comments

Request for comments.

RSPA is soliciting comments on a request for approval for the limited use of post-consumer recycled plastic material in the manufacture of new plastic drums. The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) prohibit used plastic material, other than production residues or regrind from the same manufacturing process, in the manufacture of new plastic drums. Because of the general applicability and future effect of such an approval, RSPA is seeking comment on the merits of the request from other interested parties.
