Berry to supply recycled packaging to Mondelez International

Berry Global Group Inc., a packaging producer based in Evansville, Indiana, plans to collaborate with its longtime customer, Mondelēz International, to supply packaging containing recycled plastic for Philadelphia, a cream cheese brand. 

According to a news release from Berry, the package contains plastic material recovered using advanced recycling technology from Berry’s partnership with SABIC, a global chemistry company based in Saudi Arabia. 

“We are pleased to partner with Mondelēz International in providing packaging made from this advanced recycling technology. By recovering and diverting plastic that would have otherwise been sent to landfill or incineration, we are working towards our common goal of promoting a circular economy,” says Jean-Marc Galvez, president of Berry’s Consumer Packaging International division.

Berry reports that it has worked on several sustainability initiatives in recent years, including investment in mechanical and chemical recycling, using recycled material in products and making global commitments to address plastic waste. In 2019, Berry committed that 100 percent of its consumer goods packaging would be reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025.
