Since its formal implementation in September 2022, EU Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 has fundamentally reshaped the authorization framework for food-grade plastic recycling. The new regulation shifts the focus of process safety assessment from recyclers to technology developers and significantly raises requirements for cleaning efficiency and contaminant limits.
Faced with the more stringent evaluation criteria, Boretech proactively responded by leveraging its advanced bottle-to-bottle recycling technology system. With comprehensive and reliable challenge test data, Boretech successfully demonstrated that its PET recycling process fully meets all the scientific requirements set by EFSA for a "high-efficiency decontamination process."
