We boost food safety in plastic packaging

• We have virtually held the "2nd Food Safety in plastic packaging" event again. The entire food industry value chain was once again present at this event: prestigious brands in the food sector; commercial distribution companies; container and packaging manufacturing companies; industry associations; technological institutes; environmental organizations and public bodies, among others.

Different perspectives on food safety in plastic packaging were discussed at the event, with the participation of food industry leading companies in their respective sectors, such as the Armando Álvarez Group and CAPSA FOOD, as well as PlasticsEurope, the pan-European plastic raw materials producers association, and AIMPLAS, the Technological Institute of Plastic.

In 2019 Repsol became the first polyolefins producer to obtain the FSSC 22000 certification in all its industrial complexes, once again showing its leadership in food safety. This certification required implementing a robust and effective food safety management system, which meets all the requirements of regulators, the food sector, and end consumers.

During the conference, Rafael Jiménez, Polyolefins Business Unit Director at Repsol, commented that: “Repsol has the vision of becoming the leading producer of polyolefins in terms of food safety in Europe. Plastic is a material that will continue to provide safety to the food of the future. At Repsol, we will continue to develop all the sustainable solutions for packaging that our customers demand."

With this new event, Repsol once again shows its commitment to food safety and its experience in this sector, which allows it to add value and offer advanced and specific solutions to its customers, the end consumer, and the environment.
