BERRY Global has outlined plans to showcase its latest circular packaging innovations for the food industry at Foodex 2025, taking place next week at NEC Birmingham.
The firm’s display will focus on circularity-driven solutions – such as the use of mono-materials for improved recyclability, and recycled content in non-contact sensitive applications such as collation shrink films and stretch wrap for pallet protection.
“Increased legislative pressure, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the UK and the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), is driving demand for packaging that’s not only fit for purpose but fit for the future,” said Gerry Mcgarry, VP sales and marketing at Berry Global. “Our innovation-led approach and deep technical expertise allow us to develop solutions that combine sustainability objectives with performance, aesthetics, and regulatory compliance.”
Stand highlights will include Omni Xtra+ cling film (a polyethylene alternative to PVC cling film); Entour mono-material lamination films (designed for bags, pouches, and flow wraps); mono-material pouches; films for frozen foods and snacks; and secondary and tertiary packaging containing post-consumer recycled content. Also on display will be rigid packaging solutions from Berry’s CPI division including squeezable bottles and high-capacity jars.
“At Foodex, we look forward to showing visitors how we leverage our long-standing design and technical expertise, extensive market knowledge, and global footprint to reconcile all these elements in the production of tailored solutions for the food sector,” added Caroline Root, UK & regional sales manager, Berry CPI. “Together, these innovations reflect Berry’s commitment to delivering practical, scalable solutions that help customers meet their environmental goals without compromising product performance or brand appeal.”
