Products classified under HTS 3915.90.00
PVC Waste Scrap
Waste and scrap from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production, consisting of trimmings, defective sheets, and rejected molded parts where PVC monomers constitute over 95% by weight. Classified under 3915.90.00 as plastic scrap of other plastics not specifically covered by earlier subheadings like polyethylene or polystyrene. Used primarily for recycling into new PVC products.
ABS Plastic Regrind Scrap
Granulated regrind scrap from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) manufacturing, derived from injection molding overruns and trimmings with ABS polymers predominant. Falls under 3915.90.00 for other plastic scrap not named in prior subheadings. Ideal for recycling into automotive parts.
Polycarbonate Sheet Scrap
Trimmings and edge scrap from polycarbonate sheet extrusion, where polycarbonate monomers exceed 95% by weight of total polymer content. Classified in 3915.90.00 as other plastic waste per chapter polymer classification rules. Commonly recycled for eyewear lenses and electronics.
Nylon 6,6 Fabric Parings
Parings and cuttings from polyamide-6,6 (nylon) textile fabric production, meeting the 95% monomer threshold for named polymers. Enters under 3915.90.00 for other plastics scrap, distinct from polyamide-6 or -11 specifics. Recycled into engineering plastics.
PETG Copolymer Scrap
Scrap from glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) sheet thermoforming, where copolymer units meet note (a)(2) criteria but classified as other due to non-listed status. Under 3915.90.00 for unspecified plastic waste. Used in packaging recycling.
Acrylic Polymer Trimmings
Trimmings from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) but classified here as other acrylics not meeting specific subheadings, predominant monomer acrylics per note (b). 3915.90.00 covers these unspecified plastic scraps from signage production.
PU Foam Waste Scrap
Rigid polyurethane foam waste from insulation board trimming, scrap polymers of other plastics. 3915.90.00 applies as polyurethane not separately listed. Recycled for foam rebonding.
Mixed Engineering Plastic Scrap
Shredded scrap blend of polycarbonate/ABS and other engineering resins, classified by predominant monomer under other plastics per note (b). 3915.90.00 for non-specific polymer waste from appliance molding.
PBT Resin Waste
Waste pellets and purge from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) extrusion, other plastic scrap. Meets criteria for 3915.90.00 as unspecified polyester scrap.
Cellulose Acetate Scrap
Scrap from cellulose acetate film and sheet production, chemically modified polymer classified as other plastics waste. 3915.90.00 per note (a)(3) for modifications.
PPS Plastic Purge Scrap
Purge scrap from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) injection molding, high-performance other plastic waste under 3915.90.00.
EVA Copolymer Waste
Waste from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) film blowing, copolymers not listed thus other plastics scrap 3915.90.00.
PC/ABS Blend Regrind
Regrind from polycarbonate/ABS blend housings, classified as other plastic scrap by predominant units.
TPE Pellet Waste
Waste pellets from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounding, other plastics 3915.90.00.
Fluoropolymer Scrap
