Related Products under HTS 3915.10.00.00

LDPE Film Scrap

Waste scraps from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films used in packaging, such as shrink wrap and plastic bags, generated during manufacturing or recycling processes. Classified under HTS 3915.10.00.00 as it consists of polymers of ethylene where the ethylene monomer units contribute 95% or more by weight per subheading note (a)(1). These are clean, identifiable post-industrial scraps suitable for reprocessing into new LDPE products.

HDPE Bottle Scrap

Post-consumer waste from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles, such as milk jugs and detergent containers, collected for recycling. Falls under 3915.10.00.00 because HDPE is a polymer of ethylene meeting the 95% monomer threshold in subheading note (a)(1), distinguishing it from copolymers or blends.

Ethylene Copolymer Scrap from Agricultural Film

Scrap from waste agricultural mulch films made primarily from ethylene copolymers like LLDPE, discarded after use. Classified in 3915.10.00.00 as the ethylene monomer units predominate by weight over other comonomers per subheading note (a)(4), ensuring proper placement among ethylene polymers.

PE Pipe Trimmings Waste

Manufacturing parings and trimmings from polyethylene pipes used in plumbing and irrigation, composed of ethylene polymers. Under HTS 3915.10.00.00 due to subheading note (a)(1) specifying polymers where ethylene units are 95%+ by weight, excluding fittings per US note to 3917.

Recycled PE Grocery Bag Scrap

Post-consumer scraps from thin-gauge polyethylene grocery bags, baled for recycling into new films. Meets 3915.10.00.00 as polymers of ethylene per purity rules in subheading note (a), common in retail waste streams.

LDPE Pellet Purge Scrap

Purge waste from LDPE pellet extrusion lines, irregular lumps from color/flavor changes in production. Classified 3915.10.00.00 for ethylene polymers meeting 95% threshold, valued for clean re-extrusion.
