  • April 2024: Berry Global's Flexibles division ramped up its recycling capacity in three critical European facilities. This move is part of a broader pan-European initiative to bolster the production of its Sustane line of recycled polymers. The company has strategically deployed cutting-edge equipment at its Heanor (United Kingdom), Steinfeld (Germany), and Zdzieszowice (Poland) plants. This strategic expansion will boost Berry's annual recycled plastic output by around 6,600 metric tonnes. Moreover, Berry emphasizes that this expansion is not just about quantity. It is about enhancing the quality of recyclates. This quality boost will benefit Berry's Circular Range of flexible film solutions, ensuring these products maintain their hallmark strength, durability, and protective qualities.
  • November 2023: Berry Global unveiled its latest Omni Xtra polyethylene clingfilm iteration, now dubbed Omni Xtra+. This upgraded film is a greener and more efficient substitute for conventional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cling films.
