Starlinger PET bottle-to-bottle recycling process approved by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms the compliance of the decontamination performance of Starlinger’s recoSTAR PET art recycling process in a positive “Scientific Opinion” based on the new regulation in force since 2022.

Starlinger’s recoSTAR PET art bottle-to-bottle recycling system.

 

Starlinger and its customers have already received a total of 120 “Positive Opinions” under the previous Regulation EU 282/2008—more than any other manufacturer of PET recycling technologies.

 

The positive assessment of the PET bottle-to-bottle recycling process on the “recoSTAR PET art” system is the first positive Scientific Opinion under Regulation EU 2022/1616 for Starlinger.

 

Stricter assessment criteria under new regulation

 

Under the new regulation, modified and stricter assessment criteria are applied. The permissible limits after decontamination for substances such as toluene, chlorobenzene and methyl salicylate, for example, have been reduced by up to 50 %.

 

The corresponding challenge test showed that the recoSTAR PET art process clearly exceeded the required cleaning efficiencies.

 

As soon as the European Commission authorizes the decontamination process based on the positive Scientific Opinion (by allocating the officially registered Recycling Process Authorization Number RAN to the respective process), the process developer can license it directly to PET recyclers.

 

This makes the authorisation procedure a lot easier and faster compared to before because once the process has been approved, no further tests are required.

 

More on recoSTAR PET art

 

The recoSTAR PET art PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system was first presented at the K 2022, as the successor to the well-known recoSTAR PET iV+ systems.

 

The new machine model reduces energy consumption per kg by around 25 % while increasing throughput by 15 % and more. The machine range covers throughputs from 1,000 kg/h to 3,200 kg/h.

 

Starlinger customers worldwide supply around 2.5 million tons of food-grade PET regranulate for beverage bottle production per year. Almost 300,000 tons of this are already produced on 18 recoSTAR PET art systems which are in operation in Europe, America, Africa, India and Southeast Asia.
