Berry Global’s European flexible films arm has introduced a new generation of its patented NorDiVent form-fill-seal (FFS) film with up to 50% recycled plastic content for powdered products.
The new film is expected to meet customer and consumer demand for goods with increasing recycled content. It also aligns with Berry’s sustainability strategy for 2025 and its commitment to developing solutions to meet and exceed customers’ sustainability goals.
According to the US-based plastic packaging products maker, the recycled material content has not affected the user benefits of NorDiVent. Its durable and patented design offers consistently reliable performance.
The film, which is completely waterproof and guarantees dust-free air release, provides efficient moisture protection for products that must be kept dry and enables bags to be stored outside.
Due to its strong tear resistance, the product is further protected, and spills and product waste are prevented throughout the supply chain, Berry said.
The film is equipped with an anti-static feature that allows it to handle even the most challenging products and applications. NorDiVent’s quality also enables printing in up to eight colours, which enhances on-shelf visibility and allows for impactful branding.
Berry Global sales director Frank Heseding said: “NorDiVent provides a reliable, long-term dust-free and moisture-free solution for the filling and packing of all types of powdered products, such as chemicals and construction materials.”
In addition, the company unveiled the next generation of its FormiFor insulation compression film that has now more than 30% of post-consumer recycled material.
FormiFor’s latest version, which has secured RecyClass accreditation to confirm the legitimacy of the recycled content, contains up to 30% of Berry’s Sustane premium recycled polymer.
This guarantees that FormiFor will continue to offer its high weld and holding force capabilities as well as its ability to be printed in up to eight colours to boost brand awareness and on-shelf appeal, the packaging products maker added.
Suitable for the insulation, glass wool and stone wool product markets, FormiFor’s lightweight structure uses up to 50% less material when compared to other traditional packaging films.
Berry Global business development director Neal Geryl said: “In line with our Impact 2025 sustainability strategy, this latest version of FormiFor demonstrates our ability to design for circularity with a film that maintains all its benefits while helping our customers meet and exceed their sustainability goals.”
