The closures can be made from untreated polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) or made of food-safe, recycled plastic (rPE and rPP) from CleanStream, Berry's internal, closed-loop recycling process. These options allow brand owners to match cap and tube materials to create a Create single-material packaging that facilitates recycling.

„The tube market is currently experiencing a faster pace of change as companies continue to look for more sustainable packaging formats without compromising on aesthetics or performance.“
