Safety assessment of the process brtCOMBIPET used to recycle post-consumer PET into food contact materials
This study examines a recycling process called brtCOMBIPET that converts used PET plastic bottles into new food-safe plastic materials. The process uses heating, extrusion, and special chemical treatments to remove contaminants from recycled plastic. Testing shows the process is very effective at removing harmful chemicals, making recycled plastic safe to use for food and drink containers, which helps reduce plastic waste.
