PAS100 revision and the next CCS Producers' Forum

Posted: 6 June, 2017. Written by Georgia

We are very pleased to announce that we begin the revision process of PAS100 this year! 

The subject of the ‘PAS100 review’ or ‘PAS100 revision’ has been a hot topic for several years. This standard was last revised and published in 2011. It is meant to be reviewed every two years and revised only if the technical need arises. With changes in the organics recycling industry, the time has risen for PAS100 to be revised and revision would introduce new changes to the requirements of the specification.

An overview of the revision process is provided on the PAS100 page of the CCS website. This page will be updated throughout the process to keep everyone informed of the progress. There will be many meetings and workshops set up with key stakeholders to inform the revision and CCS members can attend the next Producers' Forum to contribute to these discussions. For those hoping to attend, the details are as follows:
