Laboratory services
We can help you identify your plastic and tell you what physical, chemical and mechanical properties the plastic has. AVL offers a wide range of relevant laboratory services that are performed by highly specialised staff.
Quality control
Regenerated plastics produced by Aage Vestergaard Larsen A/S is subject to a comprehensive quality control, where the traceability of the raw material is crucial. Quality control takes place before, during and after the production of the finished product. A sample is taken of each production unit and is used for the final quality approval. All samples are archived for a minimum of 3 years.
The laboratory analyses:
- Laboratory extruder for producing test compounds
- Injection moulds for the production of test subjects
The level of quality control in connection with contract work is agreed with the customer. Several different types of analysis are used for quality control..

SDS
The safety data sheet describes the risk posed with working with the chemical or products. In this way, the safety data sheet must enable the user of the chemical or product to take the necessary precautions to ensure health and safety in the workplace. A safety data sheet must disclose hazards associated with the use of the chemical substance or product, which is described through 16 points relating to hazard labels, health, environment, first aid, fire and protective equipment.
REACH
REACH is the EU’s common chemical legislation (EC No 1097/2006). It aims to ensure that the chemicals used in the EU are documented with regard to human or environmental safety. REACH aims to ensure that the approx. 100,000 different types of chemicals used in the EU do not pose a danger to humans and the environment. REACH went into effect in 2007. It requires companies to register chemicals and imposes restrictions and prohibitions on chemicals.
REACH stands for:
- R: Registration
- E: Evaluation
- A: Authorisation
- of CH: Chemicals

Labeling and registration of microplastics
Our products (grind, powder and pellets) are covered by the REACH Regulation’s microplastics restrictions. This means that we as a manufacturer are required to provide information on the correct use and disposal of the materials to prevent microplastics from being released into the environment.
On all our products, you will find an icon and a QR code that leads directly to the safety data sheets for the materials we handle. Here you can find information on proper use, handling and disposal.
What it means for you as a customer
- You can find instructions for use and disposal of the materials correctly in our safety data sheets on this page.
- Our labeling makes it easy to find all the necessary information digitally via the QR code.
- We make sure to report the necessary information to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) by 31 May 2026 so that our products meet the labelling and reporting requirements set out in point 78 of Annex XVII to the REACH Regulation.
