United Kingdom Rigid Plastic Packaging Industry Overview
In the United Kingdom, the rigid plastic packaging sector is fragmented. It is spearheaded by prominent domestic entities like P. Wilkinson Containers Ltd and Robinosn PLC, alongside global players such as Amcor Group GmbH, Berry Global, and Aptar Group. These frontrunners actively pursue strategies like mergers, acquisitions, and product launches to fortify their foothold in the region.
- March 2024: Greif, a key player in industrial packaging products and services, teamed up with CDF Corporation to unveil an advanced redesign of its GCUBE intermediate bulk container (IBC) Flex. This redesign is tailored to transport susceptible liquid products, ensuring they remain under sterile conditions. The next-generation GCUBE IBC Flex, available across the United Kingdom, Europe, and Scandinavia, boasts an upgraded aseptic liner, a product of CDF Corporation's innovation. This advanced Form-Fit liner surpasses traditional IBC liners in evacuation efficiency and features a distinctive square opening design. This design seamlessly aligns with the IBC's internal shape and ensures automatic filling, positioned to serve markets such as food and beverage, flavors and fragrances, lubricants, and pharmaceuticals.
- October 2023: Berry Global introduced a lightweight tube closure solution that combines contemporary design and material adaptability while curbing greenhouse gas emissions simultaneously. Expanding its already vast portfolio of tube closures, Berry's new Slimline range boasts a modern, lightweight, and low-profile design, leading to significant greenhouse gas reductions compared to conventional caps. The closures come in 35mm and 50mm diameters, with options for matte or glossy finishes and orifices of 3mm and 5mm. These closures can be produced using virgin polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) or with food-safe post-consumer recycled plastics (rPE and rPP) sourced from CleanStream, Berry's proprietary closed-loop recycling initiative.
