BerryWorld leading the way for sustainable packaging innovation in UK
May 13 , 2021
In efforts to minimize the company s environmental impact, BerryWorld will this season continue to pack its British berry supply in Prevented Ocean Plastic that it introduced last year.
The company is conscious of their role in the supply chain and wider role in society and is therefore working to ensure UK berries are sustainably grown and packaged, according to a press release. We are proud to be leading the way for sustainable packaging innovation in the UK berry category. Our position within the supply chain is key to support growers so that they can continue to grow berries sustainably whilst we continue to meet our customer needs, through constant adaption and evolution, Wickus Olivier, Operations Director at BerryWorld UK said.
STRATHAM, N.H. Rehrig Pacific recently announced it was selected by leading waste hauler Casella (NASDAQ: CWST) to manufacture and distribute recycling carts made from recycled plastic for the Town of Stratham, New Hampshire under a new sustainability initiative.
The Town of Stratham received a grant from The Recycling Partnership to help pay for recycling carts to increase recycling in the community. Casella was awarded the collection contract. Among the requirements of the grant is that the residential recycling carts used by the Town must be made from at least 5% post-consumer recycled material. Rehrig Pacific, using a proprietary process, can manufacture carts with an industry-leading 40% post-consumer recyclate without compromising strength or curb appeal.

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan, and the tsunami that subsequently struck Japan caused catastrophic damage and loss of life. This natural disaster resulted in approximately 16,000 deaths, hundreds of thousands of evacuees, and vast devastation to buildings and infrastructure. In addition to this human loss and suffering, the tsunami substantially exacerbated a global pollution problem that threatens wildlife, the environment, the economy, navigation safety, and potentially human health: marine debris.
The tsunami carried approximately five million tons of debris from the inundation zone into the ocean, of which 70% sank close to shore. The remaining 1.5 million tons of debris drifted into the Pacific Ocean, resulting in large amounts of debris washing up on North American shores. Nat’l Oceanic & Atmospheric Admin. (NOAA),
