Food colouring in recycled bottles
Monday, 11 July, 2022
McCormick has teamed up with Berry Global to produce a 100% recycled PET (rPET) food colour bottle. McCormick, a manufacturer of various food ingredients, had been looking to increase the circularity of its packaging and had set packaging goals that would see it reduce its net emissions to zero by 2050.
Made using post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, the bottles could help the company reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 59% compared to the same bottle made from virgin material.
“By collaborating with key suppliers like Berry, we gain access to valuable recycled content. This 100% PCR bottle furthers our journey towards our emission reduction goal through packaging,” said Michael Okoroafor, Chief Sustainability Officer for McCormick.
