The scientific opinion of EFSA deals with the risk assessment of the recycling process “PP crates CHEP” with the Ref. No. RECYC003 for which the CEF Panel concluded that there is no safety concern for the consumer if the process is run in a product loop which is in a closed and controlled chain under the conditions described by the applicant and the recycled polypropylene is used for manufacturing polypropylene crates intended to be used in contact with whole fruits and vegetables and pre‐packed meat.
