Use of mechanically recycled plastic made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for the manufacture of articles coming into contact with food
ثبت نشده
چکیده
According to § 5 para 1 no. 1 of the German Act on Foods and Commodities (LMBG), mechanically recycled polyethylene terephthalate for food contact use must meet the same requirements as virgin PET as given in §§ 30 and 31 (1) of LMBG as well as those of the German Regulations on Commodities (Bedarfsgegenständeverordnung). No PET constituents are allowed to migrate into the food except they are considered to be safe with regard to consumers’ health and acceptable with regard to affecting food odour and taste and only in such amounts which are technically unavoidable.

Evaluation of the Migration of Antimony from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Plastic Used for Verjuice and Lemon Juice Packaging
The migration of antimony (Sb) from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottling for acidic juices have been assessed in this study. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) method was chosen for antimony content determination. Experiments were undertaken at different conditions (15, 25, 35, 45days at 25, 50°C for first use bottle, reused bottle). Two different acidic juices (lemon j...
متن کاملMigration Assessment and Modeling from Poly Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) Packaging Containers into Soft Drinks
Background & objectives: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers have many applications in the food industry. Although there are numerous advantages for PET it also has some disadvantages, one of which is the migration of materials from the container into the material inside. In this study, the effect of two factors of storage time and temperature on the migration rate was evaluated and mod...

One of the solutions to the disposal of plastic wastes is recycling it...
متن کامل[Metals in recycled polyethylene terephthalate and discrimination method for its use].
Metals in recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were analyzed by ICP-MS following microwave digestion with nitric acid. Physically and superclean-like recycled PET contained both Ge and Sb, and sometimes contained Co, P or Si. In contrast, the chemically recycled PET contained only Ge or Sb, and some samples contained Co. The recycled PETs did not contain Pb or Cd. Ge and Sb were catalysts ...
