Exemptions from Reporting

A company has facilities to recycle used plastic cartridges. These existing plastic cartridges have been previously manufactured and sold to consumers. The cartridges get returned for recycling. On return, the cartridges are crushed and processed (grinding, fusing and blending, etc.) to form a mixture of pellets. No new materials are added and it is not believed that a chemical reaction is taking place that would chemically change the material into different polymers, etc. It is intended that the original plastic materials are being recycled into pellets and thereafter available for reuse.
