Company recognized in ‘Innovation-Environment-friendly’ category for locally-sourced PCR tube for personal care product supplier Arata.

The move represents progress by both organizations in meeting their publicly stated sustainability commitments: Taco Bell’s 2022 Commitments and Berry’s Impact 2025.

Guala Closures Group has partnered with Oceanworks®, the largest global marketplace for sustainable materials, to develop a range of closures produced using ocean plastics.

The bottles are made with 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, and the dosing ball previously provided with every bottle has been removed, reducing the amount of virgin plastic by 1,000 tonnes annually.

ecoCombo™ compliments Rohrer’s ezCombo™ program and offers a new way for retail brands to make sustainable packaging choices in their blister packaging.

The tube is extruded, formed and decorated at its Easthampton, Massachusetts facility.

The industry has experienced a lot of buzz, and even confusion, when it comes to packaging and sustainability in recent years. Schools of thought differ on the best materials to use, what happens at package end-of-life and even rigid packaging versus flexible packaging.

The availability of colored post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for the production of Berry Bramlage’s popular Empress Light jar means that personal care manufacturers have even more opportunities to adopt brand-enhancing packaging with a strong sustainability profile.

A program designed to expand market demand for recycled plastics has generated almost 26 million pounds of new demand for post-consumer resin (PCR), more than tripling the amount generated in the first year.
