Industry standard interpretation

1. US FDA NOL (No Objection Letter)

Standard meaning

The FDA NOL (No objection) is the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food contact materials (including recycled PET). The FDA conducts rigorous testing and review to ensure the safety of recycled PET materials in food contact applications, including the control of risks such as chemical migration and microbial contamination. The FDA NOL certified recycled PET material indicates that it meets the requirements of the US Federal Regulations (21 CFR) for food contact materials.

Certification significance

-Safety assurance: FDA NOL certification means that recycled PET materials do not release harmful substances in food contact applications, ensuring the health and safety of consumers.

-Market access: FDA NOL certified recycled PET materials can be legally used in food packaging, such as beverage bottles, food containers, etc.

-Brand trust: The use of certified materials can enhance the brand image and enhance consumers' trust in the products.

Industry significance

-Promoting the application of recycled materials: FDA NOL Certification provides legal and technical support for the application of recycled PET in the field of food packaging industry, promoting the transformation of the industry to sustainable development.

-Improving industry standards: The certification process requires strict quality control and testing to encourage enterprises to improve their production process and management level.

-Global influence: FDA NOL certification has a high degree of international recognition, to help enterprises to explore the global market.

2. EU EFSA (European Food Safety Authority)

Standard meaning

The European Union EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) is responsible for assessing the safety of recycled PET materials in food contact applications. The EFSA standards require that recycled PET materials should not introduce harmful substances during recovery and processing, and must pass rigorous migration tests and risk assessment. The EFSA certification ensures that the recycled PET materials comply with the requirements of the EU Regulation (EC) No 1935 / 2004 for food contact materials.

Certification significance

-Safety assurance: EFSA certification ensures that recycled PET materials do not pose a risk to consumer health in food exposure applications.

-Market access: EFSA certified recycled PET materials can be legally used in food packaging, such as mineral water bottles, food pallets, etc.

-Environmental compliance: The use of certified materials is in line with the EU's environmental regulations and sustainable Development Goals to enhance the image of corporate social responsibility.

Industry significance

-Promoting circular economy: EFSA certification provides technical support and legal guarantee for the application of recycled PET in the field of food packaging, and promotes the development of circular economy in the European Union.

-Enhance industry competitiveness: certified enterprises can obtain more business opportunities in the EU market and enhance their international competitiveness.

-Promoting technological innovation: Certification requires enterprises to continuously improve recycling and processing technology and promote technological progress in the industry.

3. GRS(Global Recycled Standard)

Standard meaning

The GRS (Global Recycling Standard) is an internationally recognized certification standard designed to ensure the traceability and environmental protection of recycled materials. GRS certification covers the whole process from raw material recycling, processing to finished product production, requiring enterprises to establish a sound traceability system, and meet the requirements of environmental protection and social responsibility. The GRS certification is suitable for many renewable materials, such as regenerative PET.

Certification significance

-Traceability guarantee: GRS certification ensures that the source and processing process of recycled PET materials are transparent and traceable, and that false environmental protection publicity is prevented.

-Environmental compliance: Certification requires enterprises to reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution, in line with global sustainable development trends.

-Market competitiveness: The GRS certified products can gain more recognition in the international market and enhance the brand competitiveness.

Industry significance

-Promote industry transparency: GRS certification requires enterprises to establish a sound traceability system and promote the development of the industry in the direction of transparency and standardization.

-Enhance consumer trust: The environmental protection and traceability of certified products can enhance consumer trust in the brand.

-Promoting international cooperation: GRS certification has a high degree of international recognition, which helps enterprises to explore the global market and promote international cooperation.

Sum up:

American FDA NOL, EU EFSA and GRS certification respectively provide technical support and legal guarantee for the application of recycled PET materials from three aspects of safety, environmental protection and traceability. These certifications not only improve the market access capacity of recycled PET materials in the field of food packaging, but also promote the sustainable development and technological progress of the industry. For brands and consumers, the use of certified materials means higher safety, environmental protection and transparency, which helps to enhance the brand image and consumer trust.
