Japan Plastic Packaging Industry Overview

- Dec 2020- Berry announced its agreement with its longtime supplier, Repsol, to supply circular resins. The Spanish multi-energy global company Repsol will provide Berry with ISCC Plus certified circular polyolefins from its Repsol Reciclex range. These polyolefins are obtained by advanced recycling, enabled by the adoption of new chemical recycling technologies, of post-consumer plastic waste not suitable for traditional recycling.

Home-compostable coffee capsules were the first product available on the market under the new label. With the TÜV certificates OK Compost HOME and OK Compost INDUSTRIAL, these products are suitable for disposal in home compost, as well as in the organic waste bin.
