Our Goal

While the goal of circularity has become the predominant focus of the plastics industry in recent years, it’s been PFE’s exclusive focus for the past four decades. PFE provides credibility in plastics recycling with experience, knowledge and data. We continue to be the trusted leader in the space of consulting, testing, and validation to ensure plastic packaging and products are optimized for recyclability and maximizes use of recycled content.

The tests performed and data generated by PFE have resulted in more global recycling recognitions and validations than any other lab. PFE’s state of the art pilot plant simulates commercial processing and testing. PFE has developed the data relied on for greater than 90% of the Critical Guidance Recognitions from the Association of Plastics Recyclers, which is the industry standard for demonstrating recyclability. PFE’s services have a global reach, also being an accredited testing facility for RecyClass and EPBP.
