The aim of this project is to understand the presence of persistent chemicals in recyclable and compostable food contact materials (FCMs). These types of products are destined for recycling or biowaste streams that bridge the gap from take-make-dispose and into a circular economy. Currently, the knowledge of the chemicals in these products is limited but we need to ensure that they are safe and do not unnecessarily contaminate resource recovery streams. It is expected that this project will develop a framework that could be used by industry and government to prevent chemicals of concern persisting in a circular economy, providing environmental and economic benefits through reduced risk of chemical exposure and unnecessary remediation costs.

该项目的目的是了解可回收和可堆肥食品接触材料（FCMs）中持久性化学品的存在。这些类型的产品将被用于回收或生物废物流，以弥合从获取-制造-处置到循环经济的差距。目前，对这些产品中的化学品的了解有限，但我们需要确保它们是安全的，不会不必要地污染资源回收流。预计该项目将制定一个框架，可供工业界和政府使用，以防止在循环经济中持续存在令人关切的化学品，通过降低化学品暴露风险和不必要的补救费用来提供环境和经济效益。
