I would say non-expanded is the correct conclusion. As I understand - 'expanded' refers specifically to foamed plastic.

When applying Figure 15.2.2 Decision Tree, would this be expanded or non-expanded? I am thinking non-expanded? Since it is a Group A plastic, I would assume that if there are some that are assemble, it wouldn't matter. Still a Group A plastic. These are you cherry and fruit packing boxes.
