Phoenix wins Canadian approval for recycled PET

BOWLING GREEN, OHIO (Jan. 13, 10:20 a.m. ET) -- Phoenix Technologies International LLC has received a letter of no objection from Health Canada to use up to 100 percent of Phoenix's LNO c-brand of recycled PET in food containers.

Health Canada's Health Products and Food Branch is the Canadian counterpart to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

"We have been working with Canadian manufacturers on commercializing various food and beverage packaging applications. As such, we are very pleased to now have a letter of no objection for 100 percent [recycled] PET content from Health Canada to support our technology," said Lori Carson, sales and marketing manager, Phoenix Technologies, in a news release.

Phoenix had received a similar letter of no objection from FDA in 2008.

The LNO c process uses Bowling Green-based Phoenix’s extremely small particle size technology. According to the company, the tiny particle size enables more efficient decontamination compared to other processes, resulting in faster output and energy savings.

The company said the process also achieves lower acetaldehyde levels, which makes it viable for taste-sensitive liquids, such as water.

Phoenix’s LNO c resin has been commercialized in applications including water and other beverages, deli containers and drinking cups.
