Are you looking to verify the compliance of your samples of PCR glass ?
The luxury goods and cosmetics industries are using more and more bottles made of recycled glass (Post-Consumer Recycled) as alternatives to bottles made of non-recyclable plastic. Glass can be fully recycled; however, it is crucial to monitor the quality of the recycled glass. FILAB is able to determine the heavy metal content in recycled glass (PCR).
Heavy metals have a particular toxicological profile (Mercury, Lead, Titanium…) and their use is highly regulated. Industrial companies are under obligation to determine the heavy metal content in recycled glass.
FILAB laboratory, specialized in the determination of heavy metal content in recycled glass, is able to assist you with your analytical needs
FILAB laboratory is able to provide you with its expertise and its cutting-edge analytical fleet (ICP-MS, ICP-AES, AAS, Mercury Amalgamator) for the determination of heavy metals in recycled glass : Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, Cadmium, Nickel, Antimony…
