What is BS EN 643 – Recycled paper grades about?

BS EN 643 is intended to be used by industry professionals, organisations and individuals with an interest in the paper recycling sector. BS EN 643 defines grades of paper and board for recycling used as raw material for recycling in the manufacture of paper and board products in the paper industry. BS EN 643 also specifies tolerances for unwanted materials as well as the composition of paper and board for recycling. Unusable materials (prohibited and unwanted materials) are clearly defined for all people involved in the management of paper and board for recycling. BS EN 643 provides the terms and definitions for prohibited materials and the limits for non-paper components which provide guidance and support for Customs and Excise Officers who are required to differentiate these raw materials from waste in the context of supranational legislation on the control of waste shipments.
