GENOX received FDA No Objection Letter for 3T/h Food-grade HDPE Washing Line

On July 21, 2025, GENOX, a joint-stock group focusing on solid waste recycling, received No Objection Letters (NOLs) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its 3T/h Food-grade HDPE Washing Line, demonstrating that the system can physically recycle post consumer high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) materials for use in contact with dry food.

This NOLs confirms that GENOX's HDPE Washing Line complies with the FDA's strict requirements for food safety grade recycled materials throughout the entire process of raw material selecting, shredding, and washing. It reflects GENOX's compliance and excellent production and manufacturing technology in equipment quality control for pre-treatment, shredding system, and washing system.

What is FDA Certification?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the U.S. government agency that is responsible for the promotion and protection of public health. The agency has different divisions that oversee a majority of the organization's obligations involving food, drugs, cosmetics, animal food, dietary supplements, medical devices, biological goods, and blood products.

In the plastic recycling industry, To obtain FDA certification, companies must meet strict safety and quality standards, undergo rigorous testing, and provide necessary documentation. This certification not only validates that a product is safe for use but also enhances consumer trust and marketability, making it a crucial step for companies aiming to sell their products in the United States and even global market.

GENOX：Process Flow

The steps of GENOX's 3T/h Food-grade HDPE Washing Line are as follows:

1

Preliminary selection: Remove sediment and potential metals from the material, and remove labels.

2

Pre-shredding and washing: Shred the material to the appropriate size for further processing, while removing soil, dust, and submerged plastic for a second time.

3

Centrifugal drying and Z-type Sorting: Remove the rest labels to reduce material impurities.

4

Friction washing: Use friction washer pads to scape off surface impurities on flake. Reduce the impurity content of materials.

5

Rinsing: Wash and remove the stubborn stains such as paint, non-stick adhesive that sink in the water.

6

Final sorting: Dry and purify the material again, with the final impurity rate of <2% and the moisture content of <1%.

GENOX will focus on accelerating the global market penetration of the food grade recycled plastic industry, relying on joint venture production capacity to connect with international brand supply chains, and becoming a leading global provider of high-end equipment manufacturing and system solution services for solid waste recycling.
