FSSAI-Certified rPET Resin for Food Contact Applications

JB Ecotex is proud to be listed among the official FSSAI-approved manufacturers of food-grade rPET resin in India. Our advanced recycling process meets stringent safety standards and international certifications, ensuring compliance with packaging regulations for direct food contact.

Why FSSAI Certification Matters

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulates the use of recycled plastics in food contact materials. As per the Food Safety & Standards (Packaging) Regulations, 2018, only certified manufacturers can supply rPET resin for food packaging.

India’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework mandates that brands not only recover packaging waste but also source recycled content responsibly. This has made FSSAI-approved rPET resin a critical requirement for packaging that comes in contact with food. By using rPET FSSAI certified suppliers like JB Ecotex, brands can meet dual compliance, food safety under the Food Safety & Standards (Packaging) Regulations, 2018, and sustainability under the Plastic Waste Management Rules. Our rPET resin FSSAI certification directly supports EPR fulfilment for PIBOs, converters, and global exporters.

JB Ecotex has been officially approved by FSSAI with the file no. STD/SP-20/T (RPET - 07), dated 4th July 2025.

FAQs

Q1. What is rPET FSSAI certification, and why does it matter for packaging?

rPET FSSAI certification ensures that recycled PET resin is safe for direct contact with food. This certification is mandatory under India’s food packaging laws and allows manufacturers to legally supply rPET for use in bottles, trays, and containers. Without this certification, the use of recycled plastic in food contact applications is prohibited.

Q2. What is the process for getting rPET resin FSSAI approved?

To obtain approval, manufacturers must submit detailed documentation on resin quality, recycling technology, and test reports showing compliance with heavy metal, BPA, and VOC limits. The FSSAI reviews decontamination processes like the super-clean EREMA Vacunite system, and only approves manufacturers who meet strict migration and toxicity standards. Approval includes a unique file number and date of certification.

Q3. What is JB Ecotex’s FSSAI certification file number and approval date?

JB Ecotex has been officially listed by FSSAI as a certified supplier of food-grade rPET resin under file no. STD/SP-20/T (RPET - 07), dated 4th July 2025. This approval confirms our compliance with Indian food packaging regulations and recognizes our process as safe for food contact applications.

Q4. What is a “super-clean” recycling process in rPET production?

A “super-clean” process refers to advanced decontamination systems that remove impurities to levels safe for food contact. JB Ecotex uses EREMA’s Vacunite technology, which combines vacuum extrusion with FDA-validated protocols to ensure that every pellet and rPET resin FDA meets the standards of FSSAI, and US FDA.

Q5. How does FSSAI-certified rPET resin help brands meet EPR goals?

By sourcing from a certified supplier of rPET resin FSSAI, brands demonstrate both food safety and environmental responsibility. This directly supports India’s EPR framework by encouraging closed-loop packaging and helping PIBOs meet their recycled content obligations.

Q6. Is JB Ecotex also approved by international food safety authorities?

Yes. In addition to FSSAI, our EREMA Vacunite-based process is validated by the US FDA and complies with EFSA (Europe) requirements. We also hold FDA certifications for our rPET food grade resins. This makes our rPET suitable for both domestic and export-oriented food packaging applications.

Q7. What are the benefits of using FSSAI-certified rPET resin for B2B clients?

Using rPET FSSAI resin and rPET resin FDA certified helps B2B packaging manufacturers:

Meet food safety regulations
Comply with EPR and recycled content rules
Reduce risk of recalls or rejections
Build trust with global food brands
Ensure export-ready, tested material
