clingfilm compliance initiative
Cling film is one of the vinyl products that is frequently criticised with health concerns over migration levels, use of harmful substances etc. In an effort to address these issues SAVA has launched a Vinyl Cling film Compliance Framework (VCCF) which applies to raw material suppliers, intermediate compounders, converters or film manufacturers and distributors and importers to wholesale and retail market.
SAVA’s Cling film Compliance Framework creates a detailed guidance document whereby industry members:
- Sign a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) that all raw materials, intermediates and substances used in the manufacture of their vinyl cling film, have been Food Approved
- Agree to comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
- Agree to the use of correct and approved labelling codes together with “Intended Use” information
- Agree to have their products and documents at every level in supply chain audited by an independent SAVA representative under a signed NDA
Meeting these standards will be supported by SAVA’s Vinyl-dot brand as a sign of excellence that gives end-users of locally manufactured vinyl products immediate peace of mind and consumer confidence.
