REGULATION | PET
concerning applications received before entry into force of the Regulation (ie on the basis of Regula- tion (EC) No 282/2008), are expected within three months from entry into force; Authorisation decisions place restrictions on
recycling processes; these are based on the EFSA opinion applicable to the process; For recyclate manufactured with a novel recy- cling technology, it must be in accordance with Chapter IV of the Regulation, which lays down two suitable technologies: Post-consumer mechanical PET recycling, which
requires authorisation of individual processes; Recycling from product loops which are in a closed and controlled chain; this requires the use of a recycling scheme. Paul Niedl, Commercial Head of Starlinger
Recycling Technology, says: “Existing PET recycling technologies have to register by January 2023 latest. This does not mean that they have to undergo a new food safety evaluation, but they must register their existing process with an existing EFSA positive opinion by that date.” Niedl says a discussion is ongoing that could lead to equipment suppliers such as Starlinger
receiving a technology approval, with their custom- ers able to work with that approval under a licence (an approach similar to the one used by the FDA in the USA). “But there is no clear statement when and how this is going to happen,” he says. Brussels-based trade association Plastics Recy-
clers Europe (PRE) says the change in regulations “provides a system to approve novel technologies, including the recycling of HDPE, LDPE, PP or PS for example. This process requires additional data to determine whether the decontamination technology can produce a recycled plastic in compliance with Regulation 10/2011 and 1935/2004.” PRE says: “A multitude of data points with regard to the monitoring of the contaminants and the ability of the process to decontaminate the material will be generated, allowing a representative assessment of the process to ensure the safe use of recyclates in specific food contact applications. We expect much more processes to be approved in the future.”
