Why blue plastics?

Product safety is a top priority in the food industry. The materials used must be mechanically and chemically resilient, hygienically safe, and easily identifiable.

Our blue plastics meet these requirements. They are safe for use with food in accordance with EU and FDA guidelines, highly resistant to chemicals and boast excellent mechanical properties. Their intense colour provides maximum contrast with natural foods, enabling even the smallest particles to be detected visually.

  • Increased safety through visual detection
  • Food-safe in accordance with EU and FDA regulations (1935/2004/EC, 10/2011/EU, 2023/2006/EC)
  • Excellent mechanical properties
  • High chemical resistance
