The rPET granules produced at Rungta Eco Extrusions’ facility will have approvals from prominent global food safety authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
These certifications underline the commitment of Rungta Eco Extrusions to produce high-quality, food-safe materials for use in packaging and other consumer goods.
Additionally, Rungta Eco Extrusions is expanding its scope by venturing into the production of recycled polyethylene (rPE) and recycled polypropylene (rPP) granules.
These will cater to a variety of applications, including injection moulding, blow moulding, and extrusion processes, providing a versatile range of sustainable material options for the manufacturing industry.
