EcoLogic’s Eco-One additives for enhancing biodegradation of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) have been found to be compliant to Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) Resolution RDC N.17 for use in food contact applications. The analytical work to conclude Eco-One components are on the ANVISA positive list was conducted by Centro De Qualidade Analitica (CQA) Laboratorios in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
“Gaining ANVISA approval in Brazil is comparable to FDA approval in the US,” says Tamas Vero of TIV Plasticos, EcoLogic's distributor in Brazil. “This exciting news paves the way for Eco–One to be used in a wide variety of common food packaging applications (in Brazil).”
EcoLogic says the grades for PP and PE are the first to gain compliance and it plans to submit additional grades of Eco-One for compliance testing to ANVISA's Positive List of Additives in the near future.
