§2157. Post-use polymers; management; use
A. Post-use polymers, as defined in this Chapter, shall be managed as follows:
(1) The storage of the post-use polymers prior to use shall not exceed reasonable
time frames.
(2) Where there is an analogous ingredient, the post-use polymers shall be managed
in a manner consistent with the analogous ingredient or otherwise be adequately contained
to prevent releases to the environment.
(3) If there is no analogous ingredient, the post-use polymers shall be adequately
contained to prevent releases to the environment.
B. The post-use polymers shall provide a useful contribution to the production or
manufacturing process or be used to produce a valuable product or intermediate. A
contribution is useful if it contributes a valuable ingredient to the product or intermediate or
is an effective substitute for a commercial product. The product or intermediate is valuable
if either:
(1) Post-use polymers are sold to a third party.
(2) Post-use polymers are used as an effective substitute for a commercial product
or as an ingredient or intermediate in an industrial process.
C. The use of post-use polymers shall result in products that contain contaminants
at levels that are comparable in concentration to or lower than those found in traditional
products that are manufactured with post-use polymer products.
