Berry Global Group and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company partnered to develop a recyclable barrier solution for thermoformed articles, plastic tubes, jars and bottles using MXD6, which is a superior barrier resin manufactured by Mitsubishi.

Berry and Mitsubishi partnered to develop recyclable barrier solution for food packaging.

This innovative barrier solution provides a barrier in packaging that helps protect and extend the shelf-life of food products without the use of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH).

MXD6 is recyclable up to 12% and it also overcomes performance and compatibility limitations of EVOH, including limited recyclability and reprocessing issues like degradation and contamination.

This innovation received Critical Guidance recognition from the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR), which validates MXD6 is compatible with the Polypropylene (PP) recycling stream.

Berry’s validation testing also proved MXD6 is more compatible with existing reprocessing systems than EVOH, allowing it to be reprocessed more cleanly without degradation and contamination issues.

In the project, Mitsubishi supplied the material while Berry leveraged its unmatched global capacities, sustainability leadership and deep innovation expertise to develop the innovative barrier solution.
