Berry Global Spain site secures RecyClass and UNE 15343 certifications

Berry Global’s factory in Pamplona, Spain has achieved RecyClass and UNE 15343 certifications, both highly regarded independent markers of the site’s commitment to improving the recyclability of plastic packaging and incorporating recycled content across its products.

RecyClass and UNE 15343 Certifications are awarded after a voluntary audit conducted by third-party recognized certification bodies. The Pamplona factory welcomed auditors over two days, during which various sustainability factors were monitored, including Berry’s capabilities in designing for recyclability and the traceability of recycled plastics used at the site. 

These certifications mean that Berry can now offer RecyClass labeling on non-food packaging produced at the Pamplona factory, validating its claims around recyclability and the incorporation of recycled materials for its customers.

Other European Berry factories that have already achieved RecyClass Certification include La Genête and Lubien. Audits at other sites are also underway. 

The Certifications, which are valid for three years, were awarded to sales director Ignacio Igea at the Hispack exhibition. 

‘Berry is committed to helping our customers with circular packaging solutions, and the RecyClass and UNE 15343 Certifications are a commonly-used and widely recognized means of sharing our credentials in recyclability and recycled plastics,’ said Igea.
