FENC ensures the traceability and compliance of recycled products through rigorous third-party verification, helping customers remain flexible and competitive when addressing new regulations and market demands through supply chain sustainability management, recycled content certification and compliance with food contact and recycling process regulations.

International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) is an independent global certification system that verifies the legal source, content and carbon management performance of recycled and biomass raw materials across the entire supply chain. In 2025, FENC obtained the ISCC PLUS certification, which covers terephthalic acid, recycled polyester filament, industrial yarn and PET chips, the Company’s core product lines, to help customers get a head start with establishing a traceable low-carbon raw material supply chain.

Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 on recycled plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods is set to come into effect in the EU in September 2026. As the first company in Taiwan to obtain both the EN 15343 certification for traceability of plastics recycling and recycled plastic content and the RecyClass Recycling Process certification, FENC is prepared. The EN15343 certification focuses on the traceability of recycled plastic sources and the calculation of recycled content. As the EU’s taxation system for plastic packaging and packaging waste kicks in, the certification serves as an objective verification of the declared recycled content for customers. Few companies outside the EU have received the EN15343 certification, and FENC took an extra step by obtaining the RecyClass Recycling Process certification, which integrates the EN15343 standards and functions as a technical supplement to Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/1616. Enhancing areas such as recycling processes and traceability management, the certifications are a boost to product competitiveness.

Japan’s positive list system under the Food Sanitation Law has gone into effect. Starting in June 2025, substances not included on the positive list will be prohibited from being used in food apparatus, containers and packaging. While PET is included as an approved base material, rPET, which involves recycling processes, must also comply with the government guidelines on the use of recycled materials to ensure the compliance with production and safety management requirements for food contact applications. FIGP obtained the certification from Japan Chemical Innovation and Inspection Institute (JCII) for rPET food packaging in 2025, which reinforces product compliance and safety.
