United Kingdom Plastic Packaging Films Market Share

Market Share of United Kingdom Plastic Packaging Films Industry

The UK plastic Packaging Films market is fragmented, with several global and regional players, such as Elite Plastics Limited, Innovia Films (CCL Industries Inc.), Berry Global Inc., Klöckner Pentaplast, and Cosmo Films, vying for attention. The market is characterized by low product differentiation, growing product penetration, and high competition.

• July 2024: Innovia Films, a leading material developer and producer, unveiled an expansion to its sustainable film lineup. This extension, Encore, focuses on biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films, emphasizing the incorporation of chemically recycled polymers specifically tailored for food-contact applications. Furthermore, Innovia Films forged a strategic partnership with Prevented Ocean Plastic, resulting in a novel film composition integrating 30% of POP-sourced materials.
• April 2024: Berry Global's flexibles division ramped up its recycling capacity in three critical European facilities, marking a significant step in its pan-European initiative to bolster the production of its Sustane line of recycled polymers. With a keen eye on the rising appetite for high-performance films crafted from recycled materials, Berry Global is expected to leverage its global network to spearhead this expansion. This enhancement introduced cutting-edge equipment strategically stationed at Berry's Heanor (UK), Steinfeld (Germany), and Zdzieszowice (Poland) sites. The move is set to elevate the annual production of recycled plastics across Berry's European operations by an estimated 6,600 metric tonnes.
