Key factors in the decision included the introduction of a new non-carbon black color to improve recyclability, and design adjustments that improve efficiency and reduce waste during production.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its collaboration with Berry, Diplom-Is has pioneered the use of the non-carbon black, making the plastic containers for Royal ice cream easier to recycle for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur switch to non-carbon black has resulted in up to 130 tons of plastic annually going from being unrecyclable to becoming easier for recycling*,\u201d said the company\u2019s Packaging Developer, Almantas Dubra.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional carbon black, the new non-carbon black containers are detectable by Near Infra-Red (NIR) scanners for waste sorting processes. This means that they can be identified for recycling purposes. Berry employs a specific high-quality non-carbon black masterbatch with special pigments to further enhance NIR technology detection and sorting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a further example of its commitment to packaging innovation, Diplom-Is, with the assistance of Berry, has also introduced a design tweak for its 0.9-liter Royal containers to address issues of boxes sometimes sticking together during production. According to Diplom-Is, the alteration has significantly diminished plastic waste in Diplom-Is\u2019 production.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are constantly striving for improvement, and our work on the Royal portfolio exemplifies this,&#8221; Dubra said.<\/p>\n<p><em>* Estimation, recyclability will depend on the availability of recycling infrastructure in the region of disposal.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/105170-berry-awarded-for-ice-cream-packaging-with-improved-recyclability\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pack produced by Berry Global for Norwegian ice cream manufacturer Diplom-Is\u2019s Royal brand has won the International Ice Cream Consortium (IlCC) award for best packaging solution.
