Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies codes for identifying the resin content of plastic containers used by the public and for facilitating sorting as prerequisites for successful plastic recovery and recycling. The codes are not intended to be a guarantee to consumers that a given item bearing the code will be readily accepted for recycling. Users of the codes are encouraged to adhere to the guidelines of this standard. (This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition US 786:2008, Plastics - Codes for resin identification on plastic containers, which has been technically revised). This standard was published on 2020-06-16
