Berry Global has teamed up with Ingreendients to launch shampoo and conditioner bottles made from 100% recycled plastic. Ingreendients’ brand founder, Rajat Sharma, had a goal to be at the forefront of reducing the amount plastic waste from personal care products entering the landfill by repurposing existing plastic and not creating any new plastic.

“The beauty industry is responsible for a third of the landfill waste in America,” says Sharma. “One of the core pillars for Ingreendients is sustainable packaging so that we are not creating virgin plastic and adding to the pollution problem. Hence our focus was on having the product packaged only in bottles made fully from PCR plastic.”

As an industry leader in sustainability, Berry Global places a firm focus on creating a positive environmental impact through streamlined operations, continuously engaged partners, and optimized products. The HDPE bottle is made with 100% PCR, produced at Berry’s manufacturing facility in Winchester, VA. A flip-top polypropylene closure, made with 100% PCR, creates a total container system made completely from recycled plastic that aligns with Ingreendients’ commitment to sustainability.

"We are happy to partner with Ingreendients to help support what's important to all of us – a healthy planet," says David Long, Regional Business Director, Berry Global. "100% PCR packaging is one of the ways that our plant in Winchester, VA can help new, inspiring brands meet their sustainability goals."

Ingreendients’ commitment to responsible product manufacturing extends further than the container, and is thoughtful in all elements of the product. Ingreendients believes it matters what’s on the outside as well as inside the bottle. In addition to the container elements, the brand formula is made with the 100% plant-derived ingredients to formulate a salon-grade haircare product line.

“The Ingreendients brand set out to make the impossible possible by creating thoughtful products using only safe and simple ingredients backed by absolute integrity and transparency, with zero tolerance for misleading claims. This means we only call a product ‘natural’ if every ingredient in the bottle is derived from plants, period,” said Sharma.

And their no-compromise commitment to absolute integrity in all aspects of their business drove the brand to use 100% recycled resin for their packaging in both bottle and cap. Sharma noted the industry expertise, product knowledge, recycled material availability and collaborative relationship made Berry the ideal partner to produce the packaging that fit Ingreendients’ needs.

“I wanted to work with an industry leader who is at the forefront of sourcing recycled materials and Berry is a leader in packaging for my industry,” said Sharma. “In addition, as I started to work with them, I was pleasantly surprised by the collaborative process and helping me figure out what was the best result for Ingreendients.”

Spotlight: Customer Collaboration is Key to Bringing Circular Solutions to Market Faster

Berry Global partnered with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. to improve the recyclability of food packaging with MXD6, a high-performance barrier solution for extruded articles, such as thermoformed items and extruded plastic tubes and bottles. The MXD6 barrier is recyclable up to 12% and received Critical Guidance recognition from the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR), validating its compatibility with the Polypropylene (PP) recycling stream. Using MXD6 helps eliminate the performance and compatibility limitations of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH), including limited recyclability and reprocessing issues that cause degradation and contamination, and offers an alternative during material shortages.
