Context: Transition to the use of recycled plastics raises an issue concerning safety assessment of Non Intentionally Added Substances (NIAS). To assess the mutagenic potential of the recycled polyethylene impurities and to evaluate the need to perform in vitro assays on recycled resins, this study lies in identifying existing NIAS associated with recycled Low/High Density Polyethylene and assessing the mutagenicity data-gaps by employing in silico tools.

Methods: Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models predicting Ames mutagenicity were selected from literature, then NIAS were run to 1/evaluate performances of each model, 2/apply a QSAR strategy on the NIAS molecular space and address data-gaps.
