* Percent of sample dissolved in acid digestion, corrected for acid-soluble ash. Pure or fiberglass-reinforced plastics not subjected to acid digestion procedure.
** For wood-plastic composites, "plastic" is the fraction insoluble in acid digestion, corrected for acid-insoluble ash.
*** For polyethylene-based products, %LDPE = LDPE/(LDPE + HDPE)*100. By pyrolysis-GC.
