Berry Global will showcase its latest circular packaging innovations for the food industry at this year’s Foodex exhibition (NEC Birmingham, 7–9 April), highlighting how sustainable design can go hand in hand with technical performance and consumer appeal.
On stand C131, visitors will discover how Berry’s expertise in both flexible and rigid plastics enables the development of packaging that supports brand positioning, enhances functionality and meets the evolving requirements of food producers and retailers.
The display will focus on circularity-driven solutions – such as the use of mono-materials for improved recyclability, and recycled content in non-contact sensitive applications such as collation shrink films and stretch wrap for pallet protection – while maintaining essential packaging roles like product protection, preservation, and consumer convenience.
“Increased legislative pressure, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the UK and the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), is driving demand for packaging that’s not only fit for purpose but fit for the future,” said Gerry Mcgarry, VP Sales and Marketing at Berry Global. “Our innovation-led approach and deep technical expertise allow us to develop solutions that combine sustainability objectives with performance, aesthetics, and regulatory compliance.”
