Common use of Design for recycling Clause in Contracts

Design for recycling. For all product models first placed on the EU market after 1 January 2012: • Plastic parts >100 g shall be manually separable into recyclable plastic streams with commonly available tools. • Product shall utilize commonly used fasteners for joining components, subassemblies, chassis and enclosures. • Non-separable connections (e.g. glued, welded) between different materials shall be avoided unless they are technically or legally required. • Product plastics shall be marked by material type (ISO 11469 referring ISO 1043, resin identification code, SPI, DIN, or country specific). Marking requirement does not apply to plastic parts weighing less than 25 g or with surface area less than 50 cm²; tape; plastic protective and stretch wraps and labels; or plastic pieces when due to shape marking is not possible. Exempted are plastic parts contained in reused complex modules. An exemption from the criteria in sections 5.1 and 5.2 will be acceptable for models that are sold in small numbers (less than 5,000 units per year), on the ground that the cost of implementing the criteria is disproportionate to the sales of the product. Exceptions should be reported to the Independent Inspector (see Annex C for reporting template).
