EFSA Novel Technology at PETman
Your opportunity to produce food grade recycled material on viscoZERO
viscoZERO
Decontaminate high viscosity materials fast and efficiently with the new melt phase decontamination reactor.
Designed to produce recycled food grade resins from polyolefins and polystyrene or food grade, iV-increased recycled PET. Available as turn-key solution or as upgrade for your existing recycling extruder.
Odors are removed with a lasting effect.
Superior cleaning efficiency of volatile and non-volatile substances result in a wide range of applications for contact sensitive and/or food contact packaging products.
Fastest iV increase due to continuous melt surface exposure.
Excellent homogenization results in first class surface and optical quality.
Production according to EFSA Novel Technology (Europe) and FDA.
"Starlinger viscotec demonstrated that the use of recyclates of PE, PP and PS is possible for food and contact sensitive packaging in various applications – with percentages far beyond the requirements specified in PPWR (European Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive),” states Markus Neudorfer, Managing Partner at PETman, Austria.
