Versalis and Forever Plast to launch a range of recycled polymers for food contact packaging from NEWER™ technology
London, July 16 2024, (Oilandgaspress) –– Following the collaboration between Versalis, Eni’s chemical company, and Forever Plast, Italy’s leading company in post-consumer plastic recycling, comes REFENCE™, an innovative range of recycled polymers for food contact packaging. The range is already available in the market for polystyrene applications such as yogurt pots, trays for meat and fish, and other types of rigid and expanded packaging.
These new products will expand the Versalis Revive® portfolio of mechanically recycled materials, redefining their application limits and enabling direct contact with food.
REFENCE™ has been produced due to NEWER™ technology, which is developed in Versalis’ research laboratories in Mantua and industrialised at Forever Plast’s facilities in Lograto (Brescia) under a co-development agreement between Versalis and Forever Plast. NEWER™ enables the purification of recycled polymers in compliance with EU Regulation 1616/2022 on recycling. The technology has also obtained the Non-Objection Letter (NOL) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
