This conference will explain the recyclability of PET and further packaging materials - including current challenges in the safety assessment of FCM in the circular economy.
With the European strategy on Circular Economy, there is a pressure to increase recycling rates all over Europe. By 2030, the European Commission will propose measures to ensure that all packaging in the European Union is reusable or recyclable. This calls not only for new designs for recyclability and re-usability, but also for new methods to assess the chemical safety of recycled food contact materials (FCM). Also by 2030, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) provides for a comprehensive catalogue of measures to achieve the target of significantly reducing plastic packaging and waste.
This conference will explain the recyclability of PET and further packaging materials – including current challenges in the safety assessment of FCM in the circular economy. Discuss how the material levels deal with recycling: plastic recycling, paper recycling, aluminium recycling, recycling of adhesives as well as deinking and recycling.
