Recycled plastic materials have been approved for use in food packaging in the United States for the first time. According to foreign media reports, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a no objection letter, and envision plastics will use ocean
bound brand high-density polyethylene. This can be said to be the first time that FDA approved recycled plastics for food packaging, which is of far-reaching significance for the recycled plastics industry
this kind of high-density polyethylene is made of waste plastic collected from the watercourse 50 kilometers away from the coast. During the tensile test, the force is uneven. FDA mentioned in the letter that under the condition of using hydrocarbons, it has no objection to the full use of recycled high-density polyethylene in all types of food packaging
consolidated container
corp. (CCC) is one of the largest rigid plastic packaging suppliers in North America and one of the first manufacturers in the world to provide 100% recycled plastic bottles (excluding colorants)
ccc, through its recycling subsidiary envision
plastics, uses plastic collected within about 30 miles (or 50 kilometers) of the waterway as raw material for its oceanbound resin
the US Food and Drug Administration issued this no objection letter against oceanbound, clearing the way for the latter to be used in food contact level packaging
at present, plastics in the environment is a hot topic, which has attracted the attention of the industry, environmentalists and the public. Marine plastics is a particularly critical issue, because opponents of disposable plastics point out that this problem is one of the reasons for banning these products
in recent years, many people in the plastic industry have gradually realized that plastics must be better managed after use. For example, the end plastic waste alliance is a cross industry and multinational organization funded by companies, which aims to establish projects and systems that can solve this problem
envision plastics high we see that in the future, mark
shafer, vice president and general manager of grade 5, technical parameters: said: "as one of the larger Recycled HDPE processors in North America, we have provided very (1) more assistance in the preparation of experimental machines. Many organizations have worked very hard, and we have been fully supporting them, because they are trying to further collect these materials and process them into more useful things."
