Webinar delivers compliance essentials for recycled plastics and NIAS in food contact materials

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host a complimentary live webinar, ‘Navigating the Challenges of Using Recycled Plastics and Managing NIAS in Food Contact Materials’, on September 4, 2025.
- (1888PressRelease) August 12, 2025 - Geneva - The increasing use of recycled plastics in food contact materials (FCMs) reflects the food contact industry’s commitment to sustainability. However, the introduction of evolving regulatory frameworks and stricter testing requirements has made compliance more challenging. Businesses must ensure their products meet safety standards, especially when non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) are present. These compounds can migrate into food and pose potential health risks.
In this expert-led webinar, Kevin Chiu takes attendees through the latest regulatory requirements for FCMs in both the EU and US, with a particular focus on Recycled Plastic and NIAS. The webinar will also cover SGS’s advanced solutions, which help ensure product safety and compliance, before concluding with a Q&A session.
This webinar will be of interest to quality and regulatory compliance professionals in the food contact materials sector, including buyers, manufacturers, merchants and quality assurance executives, as well as similar roles across hardline-related industries.
This event takes place on September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM (GMT +1) Europe/Paris time.
