Submission of a petition to the BfR (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung) XXXVI.

In order to transform the development of Chromatogeny into a genuine industrial innovation for “food contact” applications, it was essential to submit a petition with BfR XXXVI! And now it's done! The petition filed at the beginning of 2023 has just been approved, which is crucial for further industrial development!
Indeed, we now have approval, under a European reference text, to use certain grades of paper with barrier protection functionalities and treated by Chromatogeny, to come into contact with foodstuffs. A risk assessment was carried out on these materials to assess the migration capacity of reagents and compounds generated during the transformation process. Following this study, co-financed by CITEO, no risk of toxicity to consumers was identified. The complete dossier was submitted to the BfR at the beginning of April 2023, and we now have official approval to be listed in the BfR XXXVI Recommendation.
The materials thus generated offer barrier properties to fatty and/or moist foods, as well as to water vapour. The materials produced in this way can be used to replace plastic packaging for short- to long-term storage at room temperature (bags for dry food, wrapping paper, canteen-type fast food, etc.) or hot-fill for short-term use (cups for hot drinks).
Great prospects for the end of 2024!

The first step to finding out more is the CTP-CITEO WEBINAR on October 3rd at 2pm...
