Plastics are one of the most commonly used materials in food contact products. As recycled plastic is becoming ever more relevant for manufacturers, consumers now demand sustainability in the products and packaging they buy. At the same time, governments are starting to address the problems of the linear economy, and this means food contact plastics will need to be reusable and recyclable if we are to achieve a true circular economy.
However, safety remains a vital concern. Many jurisdictions enforce strict regulations and standards on food contact materials (FCM), which include post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics.
There have been issues surrounding the identification of plastics and contamination by non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), which result from impurities, reaction intermediates formed during the manufacturing process, decomposition or reaction products, or legacy substances introduced during the former use of a recycled plastic.
Understanding and managing NIAS is crucial to ensure the safety and compliance of FCM, as they can pose potential risks to human health.
At SGS, we can provide NIAS screening analysis services to help manufacturers, brands, retailers, and other stakeholders in delivering safe and compliant FCM and articles to target markets.
