    WorldStar Success for Berry’s 3R Trigger Spray

    The Berry Global 3R trigger spray head for the circular economy, developed for its cooperation partner Werner & Mertz, received a 2023 WorldStar Global Packaging Award at this year’s Interpack international packaging exhibition in Düsseldorf.

    An example of Berry’s technical and manufacturing expertise in creating circular solutions, the mono-material trigger spray is made from over 97% polypropylene and incorporates 29 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, while being 18 percent lighter on average than the current market standard. The spray head can also be easily removed for refilling.

    At the same time, the 3R retains its consumer convenience benefits of easy handling and accurate spraying, thanks to its pre-compression technology.

    The WorldStar award follows the trigger’s success in the German Packaging Awards last year.

    “The development of the 3R has been a very successful collaboration, and we are very grateful to Patrick Schmidt and his team at Berry for their contribution,” said Immo Sander, Head of Packaging Development at Werner & Mertz.

    “A small, lightweight plastic pump with recycled material in the functional components is both new and innovative and this has been confirmed by the winning of these two prestigious awards.”

    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.
