Berry launches fully-recyclable, colored PET pill bottles
Berry launched a range of clarified polypropylene (PP) bottles for healthcare applications, which offer superior sustainability and enhanced product protection compared to traditional colored PET pill bottles.
Berry’s new ClariPPil bottle.
The new ClariPPil bottle has achieved a RecyClass A certification for its recyclability in countries with the appropriate recycling infrastructure in place, when combined with Berry’s PP closures.
The bottles are available in green, and light and dark amber. Custom colors can also be produced on demand. Unlike common colored PET which can pose challenge to recycling, the coloured ClariPPil bottles are all widely recyclable in countries with the appropriate recycling infrastructure in place.
In addition, new manufacturing technology for the bottles delivers a reduction of about 71% in carbon dioxide emissions compared to the traditional injection stretch blow molding process for PET bottles.
In terms of performance, ClariPPil bottles deliver up to 84% improved moisture ingress protection compared to PET, to ensure extended product integrity and effectiveness.
The bottle is available in 100, 120 and 150cc sizes and feature a universal 38mm neck for compatibility with a range of standard closures, including child-resistant options.
ClariPPil bottles are ideal for a wide variety of products including vitamins, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, beauty supplements and OTC treatments.
