Berry Launches Fully Recyclable, Customisable Domino Bottle Available with Recycled Plastic

Rectangular bottle is fully recyclable and allows for customized branding on all four sides.

Global sustainable packaging leader Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) has launched a customizable, rectangular Domino bottle available with up to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for the beauty, home, and personal care markets.

The 250ml Domino bottle includes a 75-millimetre-wide front face and customizable side panels. This allows all four sides of the container to be printed, maximizing opportunities for brands to create unique packaging experience with high impact shelf presence. The side panels can be further customized with distinctive, textured embossing or debossing to create a tactile experience for consumers.

Manufactured in high density polyethylene (HDPE), the Domino bottle is fully recyclable where appropriate collection schemes exist. And the neck is suitable for a variety of caps and closures, including the recently launched Wave2cc all plastic dispenser. The rectangular bottle shape also allows for more efficient stacking, minimizing wasted space on shelf and during transportation and storage.

The Domino bottle is available through Berry Agile Solutions, which specialises in rapid sample delivery, low-cost customisation options, and low minimum order quantities – to help brands stay on top of the latest consumer trends.

“In a retail environment where consumers are influenced by how brands are presented on-shelf, impactful packaging and graphic design is critical,” said Joe Horton, Sales and Marketing Director at Berry Agile Solutions. “We want companies to be able to easily create eye-catching designs in line with their own brand objectives. Domino helps brands quickly respond to current consumer trends and create the ‘Wow’ factor at lower cost.”

Sainsbury’s switches to pulp and cardboard packs for own-brand fish and chicken

Sainsbury’s is introducing a number of packaging changes across its own-brand chicken and fish lines, set to save 694 tonnes of plastic annually.

All own-brand salmon fillet trays are switching to pulp cardboard instead of plastic, a UK retailer first, which will result in 70% less plastic, saving 346 tonnes of plastic a year.

The supermarket giant said the pulp trays are made from sugarcane pulp, and are lined with polyethylene film.

Sainsbury’s is also rolling out cardboard trays across its Taste the Difference and by Sainsbury’s breaded chicken lines, which it said will save 300 tonnes of plastic a year.

The retailer is also making the same changes to its Taste the Difference breaded fish fillets, set to save 48 tonnes of plastic a year.

It added that the pulp cardboard trays from all salmon lines and cardboard trays across breaded chicken and fish are easily recyclable.

Claire Hughes, director of product and innovation, Sainsbury’s, said: “With salmon being one of our most popular fish, we made it a priority to reduce the plastic on the packaging of this much loved product as we work towards our Plan for Better goals.

“We are now the first retailer to make the move to have recycled pulp card trays across all our bySainsbury’s and Taste the Difference salmon products, enabling a whopping 70% plastic reduction. Together with changes to our breaded fish and chicken packaging, we are set to save 694 tonnes of plastic a year – a significant step towards our plastic reduction goals.”

Sainsbury’s recently launched its ‘Good to Know’ logo to help customers find products that are more sustainable, including those with reduced plastic packaging.

The new logo is aimed to help customers understand the retailer’s work around sustainability and its work towards its Plan for Better ambitions. Customers will be able to find the ‘Good to Know’ logo on the latest packaging across its salmon products.
