ABS Plastic Regrind Scrap
Granulated regrind scrap from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) manufacturing, derived from injection molding overruns and trimmings. The ABS polymers are predominant, and this scrap is not covered by more specific tariff items, falling under 'other plastics' waste.
Acrylic Fiber Waste Pellets
Pelletized waste from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) acrylic fiber spinning, considered scrap due to off-spec quality. Classified under 3915.90.00 as 'other' plastics where acrylic units predominate but purity is less than 95%.
Acrylic Polymer Trimmings
Trimmings from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) production, classified as other acrylics not meeting specific subheadings. The predominant monomer is acrylic, and this scrap falls under 'other plastics' waste.
Cellulose Acetate Scrap
Scrap from cellulose acetate film and sheet production, a chemically modified polymer. As a chemically modified polymer not specifically covered elsewhere, it is classified as 'other plastics' waste.
EVA Copolymer Waste
Waste from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) film blowing, where the copolymer is not listed under a specific subheading. This scrap falls under 'other plastics' waste.
Fluoropolymer Scrap
Trim scrap from fluorinated plastics like FEP/ETFE, which are not specifically listed in the tariff. This waste falls under 'other plastics' scrap.
