The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials (FCM) assessed the safety of the EREMA Vacurema Advanced recycling process (EU register number RECYC335). The input is washed and dried poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes mainly originating from collected post-consumer PET containers, with below 5% PET from non-food consumer applications. The flakes are heated in two successive flake reactors under vacuum (steps 2 and 3) and then extruded (step 4). Having examined the challenge tests provided, the Panel concluded that steps 2 and 3 are critical in determining the decontamination efficiency of the process. The operating parameters to control the performance of these steps are temperature, pressure and residence time. It was demonstrated that this recycling process ensures that the level of migration of potential unknown contaminants into food is below the conservatively modelled migration of 0.0481 or 0.0962 μg/kg food, depending on the molar mass of the contaminant substance. Therefore, the Panel concluded that recycled PET obtained from the process is not of safety concern, when used at up to 100% for the manufacture of materials and articles for food contact with all types of foodstuffs, including drinking water, and used for long-term storage at room temperature or below, with or without hot-fill. Articles made of this recycled PET are not intended to be used in microwave and conventional ovens and such uses are not covered by this evaluation.
