AB  - The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP) 
      assessed the safety of the recycling process Kunststof Recycling Nederland (KRN) 
      (EU register number RECYC251). The input consists of box pallets made of 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) originating from a closed and controlled product 
      loop for packaging of meat. Flakes are used to produce new box pallets for food 
      contact. The Panel considered that the management system put in place to provide 
      full traceability from the input to the final product and to ensure compliance of 
      the origin of the input with Commission Regulation (EC) No 282/2008 is critical. 
      According to the applicant, the input of the process KRN originates from a 
      product loop which is in closed and controlled chain, designed to ensure that 
      only materials and articles that have been intended for food contact are used and 
      that contamination can be ruled out when run under the conditions described by 
      the applicant. The Panel concluded that the recycling process KRN is suitable to 
      produce recycled HDPE box pallets intended to be used in contact with 
      refrigerated or frozen, packed or unpacked meat.
