A local summary of UK legislation (based on the EC Directive) can be found at: http://www.hants.org.uk/scrmxn/c26281.html EPS probably fails the criterion: (iii) packaging must be recoverable through at least one of: (a) material recycling; (b) incineration with energy recovery (no noxious emissions); or (c) composting or biodegration; Hope this helps, Roger Rick Loiselle <[email protected]> on 27/10/99 22:21:45 Please respond to Rick Loiselle <[email protected]> To: [email protected] cc: (bcc: Roger Viles/PLY/Global) Subject: Packaging material Hello, Has anyone heard of EPS (polystyrene?) packaging material soon to be "not accepted" in the European Community because it is a Non-recycling material?
