We are pleased to announce that J.S. Hamilton Poland laboratories have successfully completed the DRRR Proficiency Testing programme conducted for Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE): “Contaminants in recycled plastic material – Phase 2 (RVEP 259599)”.
Successful completion of both proficiency testing rounds resulted in J.S. Hamilton being included on the list of laboratories accepted by Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE), available to PRE members.
As part of Phase 2, our specialists correctly identified and performed semi-quantitative evaluation of contaminants intentionally introduced into PP granules, meeting all criteria defined for successful participation. Importantly, the first phase of the programme was also completed with a positive result, confirming consistent performance across both rounds.
Successful participation in DRRR proficiency testing demonstrates our laboratories’ proven capability to identify and evaluate potential contaminants in recycled plastic materials – a critical aspect of compliance with regulatory requirements, including Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/1616.
For manufacturers and recyclers, this means reliable analytical results supported by independently verified laboratory competence, contributing to product safety, regulatory compliance, and market acceptance across Europe.
