Include material grade or composition, contamination, moisture where relevant, particle or bale format, packaging, quantity and whether the supply is one-off or recurring.
Complete answer
The answer
The more specific the listing, the less likely the parties are to waste time on unsuitable material. Photos can help, but they should support rather than replace a written specification.
Do not describe a material as “clean”, “food grade”, “recyclable” or a particular polymer/metal grade unless you have a reasonable basis for the claim.
What to do
- Name the material precisely.
- State contamination and physical form.
- Describe quantity, frequency and packaging.
