Berry Global has developed a range of bottles made entirely from recycled plastic (PCR) for Bio-D, the British manufacturer of environmentally friendly cleaning products.
The range includes 750ml, 1-litre and 5-litre bottles for a range of Bio-D liquid productsincluding laundry detergents, fabric softeners, dishwashing detergents, dishwasher detergents and cleaning products for home and garden.
Bio-D specialises in the production of environmentally friendly cleaning products that do not harm people or the environment. This commitment also extends to the company's packaging, and Bio-D was looking for bottles made from 100 per cent PCR for several of its liquid products. At the same time, the bottles needed to offer a high level of performance, especially in terms of in terms of their durability and longevity. The design should facilitate reuse in particular, as they can be refilled several times in over 300 refill shops throughout the country. And at the end of their service life, the bottles should be recyclable.
The bottles developed by Berry Global are now made of 100 per cent PCR-HDPE and feature an embossed Bio-D logo, to ensure the presence of the brand throughout the life of the bottle. The design of the 1-litre detergent and fabric softener bottles also has a handle for safe carrying and controlled pouring.
"We have been using recycled material in our containers for many years, but the requirements for the Bio-D bottle presented us with additional challenges that required new material technologies and processing requirements as well as an extensive new test procedure."

As part of the development process, Berry BMS was able to draw on the processing expertise of Berry's specialised recycling company Berry Circular Polymers to fall back on. In addition, the closure for the bottle is manufactured by Berry Norwich, so that organic D a complete solution for bottle and cap from a single source.
"As a B Corp certified company, which confirms that we meet the highest standards in terms of social and environmental impact, it is vital that our packaging helps to make our products environmentally friendly. We have worked with Berry for many years and the company has always delivered excellent quality and service. Consumers love these bottles because they know that each one has been made from plastic waste and can be used again and again."
