Abstract

Stimulated by new ecology-driven European and national regulations, new routes of recycling waste appear on the market. Since food packages represent a large percentage of the plastics consumption and since they have a short lifetime, an important approach consists in making new packages from post-consumer used packages. On the other hand, food-packaging regulations in Europe require that packaging materials must be safe. Therefore, potential mass transfer (migration) of harmful recycling-related substances to the food must be excluded and test methods to ensure the safety-in-use of recycled materials for food packaging are needed. As a consequence of this situation, a European research project FAIR-CT98-4318, with the acronym 'Recyclability', was initiated. The project consists of three sections each focusing on a different class of recycled materials : polyethylene terephthalate (PET), paper and board, and plastics covered by functional barriers. The project consortium consists of 28 project members from 11 EU countries. In addition, the project is during its lifetime in discussion with the US Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) to consider also US FDA regulatory viewpoints and to aim, as a consequence, to harmonizable conclusions and recommendations. The paper introduces the project and presents an overview of the project work progress.

从食品安全考虑食品包装材料的可回收性方案:聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、纸和纸板以及功能性屏障覆盖的塑料
在欧洲和各国新的生态驱动法规的刺激下,市场上出现了新的废物回收途径。由于食品包装占塑料消费的很大比例,而且它们的使用寿命很短,一个重要的方法是用消费者使用过的包装制作新的包装。另一方面,欧洲的食品包装法规要求包装材料必须是安全的。因此,必须排除有害的回收相关物质对食品的潜在传质(迁移),并需要检测方法来确保回收材料用于食品包装的安全使用。在这种情况下,一个欧洲研究项目FAIR-CT98-4318(缩写为“可回收性”)启动了。该项目由三个部分组成,每个部分都侧重于不同类别的可回收材料:聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、纸和纸板,以及被功能屏障覆盖的塑料。该项目财团由来自11个欧盟国家的28个项目成员组成。此外,该项目在其生命周期内与美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)进行讨论,以考虑美国FDA的监管观点,并最终达成一致的结论和建议。本文介绍了该项目,并概述了项目的工作进度。
