BERRY Global has launched a range of clarified polypropylene (PP) bottles for healthcare applications.
The packaging solutions provider explained that the product offers ‘superior sustainability’ and ‘enhanced product protection’ when compared to traditional coloured PET pill bottles.
Ideal for a wide variety of products including vitamins, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, beauty supplements and OTC treatments, the new ClariPPil bottle has achieved a RecyClass A certification for its recyclability in countries with the appropriate recycling infrastructure in place, when combined with Berry’s PP closures.
Jessica Rodriguez, sustainability project manager at Berry Global, said, “We believe our ClariPPil bottle provides an advanced packaging solution that will transform healthcare packaging.
“As well as its superior sustainability profile, the bottle offers excellent performance and quality.”
ClariPPil bottles are available in green, and light and dark amber, enabling them to meet the requirements of different product types – custom colours can also be produced on demand.
The coloured ClariPPil bottles are all widely recyclable in countries with the appropriate recycling infrastructure in place, Berry added. Furthermore, Berry said that its new manufacturing technology for the bottle delivers a reduction of approximately 71% in carbon dioxide emissions compared to the traditional injection stretch blow moulding process for PET bottles.
Alongside these enhanced sustainability benefits, ClariPPil bottles also deliver up to 84% improved moisture ingress protection compared to PET, to ensure extended product integrityand effectiveness.
The bottle is available in 100, 120 and 150cc sizes and feature a universal 38mm neck for compatibility with a range of standard closures, including child-resistant options. As well as the choice of colours, the design includes a wide decoration area for individualised branding.
Ryan Maszton, director of sales at Berry Global, added, “ClariPPil bottles meet the demand for a sustainable packaging solution without compromising functionality, aesthetics, or barrier performance.
“Equally important, our high-capacity production facilities mean we can offer companies speed of supply and fast response to help them bring products quickly to market, maximising.”
