Replace virgin polymers

These  

systems  

are  

working  

in  

plastics  

applications,  

which  

are

well  

placed  

on  

the  

market  

and  

controlled  

from  

production  

to

disposal.    

Examples    

therefore    

are    

boxes    

for    

fruits    

and

vegetables, or HDPE milk bottles in Great Britain.

Oftenly   such   circular   products   and   recyklates   are   demanding also   for   food   contact   approvals.   Via   directive   EU   Nr.   282/2008   there    are    exact    rules    how    this    can    be    implemented.    In teamwork      with      EFSA      ( www.efsa.europa.eu )      and      AGES ( www.ages.at )   we   are   engaged   to   launch   more   international projects via upcycling  trials.

Washing processes

Orf  

course  

washing  

processes  

are  

quite  

important  

for  

articles

to  

be  

recycled.  

But  

already  

plastics  

or  

even  

paper  

etiquets,

sticking  

on  

such  

articles,  

can  

hinder  

enormously  

from  

washing

and recycling.

We     are     looking     forward     to     discussing     with     you     new approaches    here    in    line    with    authorities    to    create    new recycling closed loop systems on the market.
