Berry Global’s flexible films division unveiled the latest addition to its Bontite® Sustane™ Stretch Film portfolio – now featuring 30% certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.
Bontite is a range of technically advanced blown stretch films offering exceptional holding force to ensure palletised goods remain secure throughout transit. Providing strength, puncture resistance, and load stability, Bontite films are a prime solution for a range of industries including logistics, food and beverage, construction, retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce.
The range includes films made from virgin materials as well as the Bontite Sustane portfolio, which utilises various types of recycled plastic. At the heart of this latest advancement is Berry’s commitment to developing high-performance packaging solutions that align with circular economy principles. The integration of 30% certified post-consumer recycled content, which helps to reduce the reliance on virgin plastic, combined with stretch film's ability to be recycled post-use*, supports this goal.
The use of PCR content in stretch films often presents technical challenges, from maintaining consistent strength and elasticity to ensuring load stability. However, through continuous investment in research and product development, Berry has successfully overcome these challenges to deliver the reliable performance and protection their customers have come to expect.
In addition, Berry works closely with its customers to help them optimise their packaging process – helping to re-engineer wrap patterns, select the ideal film thickness, and fine-tune machine settings to minimise costs and maximise load stability.
