Chemical testing of mechanically recycled polyethylene terephthalate for food packaging in the European Union

E. D. Tsochatzis et al.

Summary: Research suggests that PET material can be mechanically recycled and used in food contact applications, but the development of appropriate analytical tools for safety assessment is still in its infancy. Current safety evaluation methods need further improvement to ensure full compliance of rPET with safety standards.

Mechanical Recycling of Packaging Plastics: A Review

Zoe O. G. Schyns et al.

Summary: The current global plastics economy is linear, but transitioning to a circular economy is crucial for reducing environmental impacts through degradation, reuse, and recycling. Mechanical recycling plays a key role in a sustainable plastic economy, but challenges such as high costs, mechanical property degradation, and inconsistent product quality need to be addressed.

Safety concerns of recycling postconsumer polyolefins for food contact uses: Regarding (semi-)volatile migrants untargetedly screened

Qi-Zhi Su et al.

Summary: The study found that most of the compounds identified through chemical testing may not pose a risk to human health, with a majority being food additives or components that do not harm the human body; some high molecular weight substances require further study. The results are informative for recyclers and policymakers in recycling polyolefins for safe food contact materials.
