Recycled and FDA compliant: it’s possible

Certain recycled polymers can be used in applications involving food contact, provided the appropriate regulatory requirements are met.

At Exxel, certain polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) grades are formulated from materials that comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.1520. This approach allows recycled materials to be integrated into certain regulated applications while maintaining the required compliance standards.

These materials can notably be considered for applications such as food or cosmetic packaging, where regulatory compliance is essential.
