Post-Consumer Recycled PET: A Comprehensive Review of Food and Beverage Packaging Safety in Brazil

Polymers, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(5), P. 594 - 594

Published: Feb. 24, 2025

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used in the food and beverage packaging sector due to its chemical mechanical properties. Although PET a fossil-based polymer, recyclability significantly contributes reducing environmental impacts caused by excessive plastic consumption. However, growing demand for post-consumer recycled (PET-PCR) has raised concerns about efficiency of decontamination processes involved recycling this material. This review initially addresses synthesis processes, highlighting injection stretch blow molding as predominant technique production. It then discusses reverse logistics strategy promote sustainability through recovery packaging, such bottles. examines methods PET-PCR production, safety requirements including positive lists permitted substances, contaminant migration limits, non-intentionally added substances (NIASs), updated criteria National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) food-grade resins. Finally, explores future prospects using sector, assessing potential technological advancements enhance safety.

Green Biobased Polyethylene Terephthalate (bioPET) Composites Reinforced with Different Lengths of Basalt Fiber for Technical Applications

Fibers, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(9), P. 73 - 73

Published: Aug. 30, 2024

This paper presents the modification results and effects of reinforcing green polyethylene terephthalate matrix composites (bioPET ECOZEN® T120) with basalt fibers two different lengths. Five types filling levels 7.5 15 wt% each fiber were produced by injection molding. Basic mechanical processing properties, microstructure photographs, reinforcement analyzed low- high-cycle fatigue tests performed. A significant increase in strength stiffness was observed (especially for short fibers) proportional to amount fibers; longer would also deformation capacity composite. Furthermore, reduce relaxation processes (creep) but not dissipation energy. Predictability enables optimal environmentally friendly materials be designed.
