11 Apr 2024 --- Berry Global has released a white paper outlining its “breakthrough” technology in PE Cling Film. The technology is said to be the solution to finding a recyclable alternative to traditional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cling films for fresh food applications.The paper, titled “How Omni Xtra+ Can Drive More Recycling of Cling Films,” outlines the challenges that users of PVC cling films face owing to its low recyclability. It also reveals the development work behind Berry’s new Omni Xtra+ PE version, which is said to offer a comparable performance to PVC. As European legislation moves toward a requirement for all packaging to be designed for recyclability, PVC would therefore require a dedicated collection scheme, but there is limited collection and sorting infrastructure for PVC films in European markets.
