AB  - The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP) 
      assessed the safety of the recycling process Cajas y Palets en una Economia 
      Circular (CAPEC) (EU register number RECYC242). The input consists of crates made 
      of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) originating from closed 
      and controlled product loops for the packaging of whole fruits and vegetables. 
      Flakes or pellets are produced that will be used by manufacturers of new crates 
      for food contact. The Panel considered that the management system put in place to 
      ensure compliance of the origin of the input with Commission Regulation (EC) No 
      282/2008 and to provide full traceability from input to final product is the 
      critical process step. It concluded that the input of the process CAPEC 
      originates from product loops which are in closed and controlled chains 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 recycling process CAPEC is therefore 
      suitable to produce recycled HDPE and PP crates intended to be used in contact 
      with fruits and vegetables.
