THE role of plastics in helping to drive net zero and circular economy ambitions will be highlighted by two presentations from Berry Global Flexibles at the Sustainability in Packaging Europe conference, being held in Barcelona from October 8-10.
In Circular Solutions towards Net Zero, Tony Nawar, VP, flexibles – sustainability, innovation and strategy, will showcase initiatives and case studies from Berry that help support companies’ net zero and PPWR commitments. Innovations Driving Circularity in Packaging from innovation director Jagan Mohanraj, meanwhile, will examine the latest developments in mechanical plastics recycling and how they can help packaging achieve circularity.
Berry said the company’s position as both a recycler and converter of flexible and rigid plastics will enable attendees to gain a comprehensive perspective of both the challenges and opportunities for plastics in the development of sustainable packaging solutions.
“We are delighted to participate in Sustainability in Packaging Europe,” said Tony Nawar. “Effective collaboration and partnership across the supply chain is fundamental to achieving a circular economy. The knowledge exchange and networking opportunities offered by this important event will help businesses meet their collective goals.
“As companies continue to develop their sustainability strategies, commitments and targets, plastics are very much part of the solution, so we look forward to sharing our latest developments and insights.”
The conference will allow Berry to detail several of its latest products and technical initiatives. The recently launched Omni® Xtra polyethylene cling film for fresh food applications provides an alternative to traditional PVC cling films. Meanwhile, NorDiVent® form-fill-seal (FFS) film for the protection of powdered products, now incorporates up to 50% recycled plastic content, using Berry’s range of Sustane recycled polymers.
