O.BERK Company has introduced a new programme to present green packaging as an option for its clients. The company’s most popular lines, including Boston Rounds, Cylinders, Jefferson Rounds and Union Ovals, are now available in Post Consumer Regrind (PCR) of at least 25%. Higher concentrations, in some cases up to 100%, are also available.
PCR boasts the barrier, impact and compatibility of virgin resin and containers made using PCR can be frosted, decorated and labelled. While O.BERK admits that PCR can yellow a bottle or jar, it reassures clients that this unwanted effect vanishes when colourant is added. Steel cans, aluminium containers and glass bottles, all of which have high recycling rates, are also available.
In addition, the Cosmetic Packaging Group, a division of O.BERK, has launched its Hera Collection of rectangular flint glass bottles for perfumes and colognes. The line comprises flacons in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes with 15mm crimp neck finishes. Optional extras include frosting, ceramic decorating and labelling.
