BERRY Global Group has announced its B Circular packaging range of beauty and personal care products is now available with Berry’s CleanStream recycled plastic for many of the products manufactured with polypropylene (PP).
Described as having the capacity to recycle nearly 40% of all polypropylene waste collected from domestic recycling bins in the UK, Berry’s CleanStream technology offers the firm revealed is the UK’s first domestically recovered, mechanically recycled, contact-sensitive, recycled plastic at scale.
CleanStream recycled plastic can be used in the manufacture of a range of B Circular products, including closures, atmospheric and airless dispensers, jars, and applicators.
“Sustainability is a major requirement for beauty packaging, but any recycled plastic for packs has to meet the highest levels of performance in terms of protecting and preserving the product and maintaining its quality and effectiveness,” said Elodie Roger, Berry Global CPI’s VP sustainability.
“CleanStream recycled plastic meets these requirements and is already being used by several leading personal care brands who are incorporating up to 100% of the recycled plastic in their packaging. By making it available in our B Circular range, we are anticipating the forthcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation and offering more companies the opportunity to demonstrate their sustainability commitments with a wide choice of aesthetically pleasing and consumer friendly packs.”
