Should recycled rather than virgin plastic be utilised. One should ensure testing of every batch is carried out, in order to comply with code 2425:2015. The composition of recycled plastic differs in every batch, as opposed to virgin products. Composition of raw virgin material can be controlled to produce consistent batches. COEM products are also more flexible and less likely to snap. Less wastage.
Engineers are recommended to specify virgin, and instruct not to use recycled plastic in order to ensure compliance to 2425:2015. Using recycled could affect insurance cover, should faults, disagreement or incidents occur. A classic example, automobiles with a faulty tire may not be the cause of an accident. However the driver will not be covered.
