Safety assessment of the process Omorika Recycling, based on PET direct iV+ technology, used to recycle post‐consumer PET into food contact materials

Abstract The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP) assessed the safety of the recycling process Omorika Recycling (EU register number RECYC224), which uses the Starlinger PET direct iV+ technology. The input is hot caustic washed and dried poly(ethylene terephthalat...

The input is hot caustic washed and dried poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes mainly originating from collected post‐consumer PET containers, with no more than 5% PET from non‐food consumer applications. The flakes are extruded to pellets, which are then crystallised, preheated and treated in a solid‐state polycondensation (SSP) reactor. Having examined the challenge test provided, the Panel concluded that the three steps, extrusion, crystallisation and SSP are critical in determining the decontamination efficiency of the process. The operating parameters to control the performance of these critical steps are temperature, gas flow, pressure and residence time. The challenge test demonstrated that this recycling process is able to ensure that the level of migration of potential unknown contaminants into food is below the conservatively modelled migration of 0.1 μg/kg food. Therefore, the Panel concluded that the recycled PET obtained from this process is not of safety concern, when used at up to 100% for the manufacture of materials and articles for contact with all types of foodstuffs for long‐term storage at room temperature, with or without hotfill. The final articles made of this recycled PET are not intended to be used in microwave and conventional ovens and such uses are not covered by this evaluation.EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP)Claude LambréJosé Manuel Barat BavieraClaudia BolognesiAndrew ChessonPier Sandro CocconcelliRiccardo CrebelliDavid Michael GottKonrad GrobMarcel MengelersAlicja MortensenGilles RivièreInger‐Lise SteffensenChristina TlustosHenk Van LoverenLaurence VernisHolger ZornVincent DudlerMaria Rosaria MilanaConstantine PapaspyridesMaria de Fátima Tavares PoçasAlexandros LioupisEvgenia LampiWileyarticlePET direct iV+Omorika Recyclingfood contact materialsplasticpoly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)recycling processNutrition.
