Areas of application
The criteria for what is referred to as ‘food-grade’ in everyday language are essentially designed to ensure that substances from the packaging are not transferred to the food in quantities that are hazardous to health, that the composition of the food is not changed and that its quality in terms of taste and smell is not impaired. The significant properties of food suitability have been certified in our products by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (BAG), the German Fraunhofer Institute and a number of other testing institutes worldwide.
The recyclate generated in the patented URRC process meets the following requirements:
- Mass production of drinks bottles with high-performance injection-moulding machines
- Easy filling in the drinks industry
- Unrestricted storage properties (e.g. stackability, compression resistance)
- Does not differ visually from new goods
The safety assessment of recycling processes for the production of recyclate for direct food contact takes place via the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in the European Union and via the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA. The evaluation itself is largely dependent on the packaged substance, the polymer that comes into contact with it, and on the storage conditions such as time and temperature.
