Food Safe Post Consumer Recyclate Plastics Recycling for Direct Food Contact and Alternative Applications

摘要

The criteria for what is commonly referred to as"food safe"essentially aim to ensure that substances are not be transferred from the packaging to the food in quantities that could endanger consumer health. The composition of the food must remain unchanged and its quality in terms of taste and aroma must not be impaired. Because food packaging is also sometimes misused as a container for various other substances before it is disposed of,this presents additional challenges in the process for producing recyclates intended for direct food contact applications.
