The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) Food, Drug and Cosmetic Packaging Materials Committee (FDCPMC) is a public policy committee made up of company representatives from all segments of the plastics industry, working to ensure plastic packaging protects both the product it contains and the health and safety of the end user. We work to harmonize regulatory policy that also supports economic growth and global trade in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors.
The Food, Drug and Cosmetic Packaging Materials Committee (FDCPMC) has published “General Information for Industry on Supply Chain Communication for Recycled Plastics in Food-Contact Applications,” guidelines for understanding regulatory compliance for post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics in food-contact packaging.
