We're proud to announce a major milestone for food-grade plastics recycling! 🎉♻️ Coperion has received an FDA Letter of No Objection (LNO), confirming that recyclates produced using our twin screw extrusion technology, covering capacities from small throughputs up to 6,000 kg/h, combined with EcoFresh silo degassing are suitable for direct food contact. ✅ This achievement makes Coperion the first provider of a complete decontamination system leveraging these technologies to enable the production of food-grade rHDPE and rPP. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻? Used HDPE bottles, PP trays, yogurt cups, and other food packaging can be recycled into new food-contact packaging, supporting higher recycled content and helping drive a truly circular plastics economy. ♻️ The FDA confirms the effectiveness of Coperion’s integrated decontamination approach, giving recyclers confidence in producing high-quality food-grade recyclates for even the most demanding applications.
