SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF RECYCLED PLASTICS FROM POST-CONSUMER WASTE WITH A COMBINATION OF A MINIATURIZED AMES TEST AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

Safety Assessment of Recycled Plastics from Post-Consumer Waste with a Combination of a Miniaturized Ames Test and Chromatographic Analysis

European circular economy goals require the use of recycled polymers in sensitive applications such as food packaging.As plastic recyclates can contain unknown post-consumer substances, the European Food Safety Authority evaluates recycling processes using a worst-case assumption: all contaminants are DNA-reactive mutagens/carcinogens with extremel
