21 Jun 2021 --- Sulapac is appealing to EU policymakers to redefine the term “plastic” in the upcoming Single-Use Plastic Directive (SUPD) due to definitions the company views as unclear and misleading. The packaging supplier is concerned the Directive defines all chemically modified polymers, including carboxymethylcellulose (E466), as plastic. However, it points out E466 is widely used, including as a thickening agent in ketchup and as a stabilizer in ice cream.
