While ISO 20457 is the overarching standard for "Plastics — Guidelines for the recycling and recovery of plastics waste," (Task Group 6) focuses on a critical piece of the puzzle: Sorting, Separation, and Pre-treatment .
🔹 TG6 emphasizes that high-quality recyclate starts with high-quality sorting. Without proper separation by polymer type (PET, HDPE, PP, etc.) and removal of contaminants, even the best chemical recycling processes fail.
🔹 TG6 works to harmonize conflicting requirements between recyclers, brand owners, and waste managers. It provides actionable criteria for what constitutes a "recyclable" input stream versus a "downcycled" one. iso 20457-tg6

👉 Have you started aligning your sorting or recycling processes with ISO 20457? Let’s discuss below. While ISO 20457 is the overarching standard for
♻️ provides essential guidelines for plastics recycling and recovery. But what exactly is TG6 , and why does it matter?
Here’s why TG6 is a game-changer:
Demystifying ISO 20457-TG6: A Practical Approach to Plastics Recycling & Reuse
📦 If you’re a manufacturer – TG6 helps you design packaging that can actually be sorted cost-effectively. 🏭 If you’re a recycler – It provides a benchmark to certify your output quality. 🌍 If you’re a sustainability lead – It’s your toolkit for closing the loop on hard-to-recycle plastics. 🔹 TG6 works to harmonize conflicting requirements between
ISO 20457-TG6 isn’t just technical jargon. It’s the roadmap from "waste" back to "resource."
