Berry Global has entered into an agreement with materials supplier Borealis, giving it access to circular polyolefins made from chemical recycling. This will help Berry achieve its commitment of using 600 million pounds of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content by 2025.
Chemical recycling, also called advanced recycling, makes it possible to use material, which would otherwise be discarded as waste and destined for incineration or landfill, as feedstock for the production of polyolefins. Continually increasing demand for these processes is a critical component in the economics of achieving a circular economy.
