BOPP Film Scrap

Typical applications

• PP film recycling and pelletising

Technical specification (indicative)

The 6-digit HS subheading is internationally harmonised; confirm the full national tariff line with your customs broker.

Grade definition — no standard code

Sold on a specification agreed between buyer and seller (plain/printed, metallised or not, rolls vs bales).

Source: No specific ReMA/ISRI grade code (the circular's plastics guidelines do not cover this resin/form). Summarised in our own words; the published standard prevails.

Packaging and container loading

Estimated loading quantities — subject to the material's packing density, the actual container payload and applicable transport weight limits.

Inspection and quality verification

Resin type, colour, contamination (labels, caps, other polymers, dirt, moisture) and bale condition are checked before loading, with loading photographs. Where specified in the contract, an independent inspection or a sample for testing can be agreed.

Import compliance

Since 1 January 2021 the Basel Convention plastic-waste amendments require prior informed consent for most mixed or contaminated plastic waste shipments. Clean, sorted single-polymer scrap destined for recycling (Basel entry B3011) is generally outside that requirement, but national import rules vary and some countries restrict or ban plastic scrap imports. Buyers must confirm import eligibility and permits at the destination.
