Berry Global’s flexible films division is set to showcase the latest advancement in sustainable packaging at Packaging Innovations in Birmingham on 12-13th February 2025. The company will introduce its newest addition to the Bontite® Sustane™ Stretch Film portfolio, now featuring 30% certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.

Bontite is a range of technically advanced blown stretch films designed to provide exceptional holding force, ensuring palletised goods remain secure throughout transit. Offering superior strength, puncture resistance, and load stability, these films serve industries such as logistics, food and beverage, construction, retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce.

This latest innovation reflects Berry’s commitment to high-performance packaging solutions aligned with circular economy principles. By integrating 30% certified PCR content, the company reduces reliance on virgin plastics while maintaining the film’s ability to be recycled post-use*, further supporting sustainability initiatives.

Incorporating PCR content into stretch films often presents technical challenges, including maintaining consistent strength, elasticity, and load stability. However, through extensive research and product development, Berry has successfully engineered a solution that ensures reliability and performance, meeting the rigorous demands of modern packaging applications.

Beyond material innovation, Berry collaborates closely with customers to optimise their packaging processes. The company provides expertise in re-engineering wrap patterns, selecting the ideal film thickness, and fine-tuning machine settings to enhance cost efficiency and maximise load stability.

“Stretch films play a crucial role in the packaging process, ensuring goods remain secure and protected throughout the supply chain,” said Gabrielle Ditsch, Sales Director at Berry Global’s European Flexible Films business. “Our new Bontite Sustane Stretch Film incorporating 30% PCR content demonstrates Berry’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. By integrating PCR, we help reduce packaging’s environmental footprint while maintaining superior product protection, minimising waste, and advancing circular economy goals.”

Berry Global continues to drive innovation in flexible films, reinforcing the essential role of high-quality stretch films in sustainable packaging solutions.

Recyclable where PE film collections exist.
