    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.

    Achieving More Together

    • Helps reduce both food and plastic packaging waste
    • Allows brands to make recyclability claims
    • Supports customer’s sustainability goals without sacrificing performance or product protection
    • Enhances compatibility with existing reprocessing systems, allowing for cleaner reprocessing than EVOH according to validation testing conducted by Berry Global

    Berry Global is listening for the next opportunity to act. Share your passion for personal sustainability here, and let’s accomplish more together!
