Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:BERY), a leading supplier of sustainable packaging solutions for consumer goods and industrial products, today reported its second fiscal quarter 2022 results, referred to in the following as the March 2022 quarter.

Berry’s Chairman and CEO Tom Salmon said, “For the second fiscal quarter, we reported record revenue of $3.8 billion, an increase of 31% on a two-year basis, as underlying demand for our products remained resilient. We delivered two-year organic volume growth of 3% led primarily by market growth and supported by our organic investments in our Health, Hygiene, & Specialties and Consumer Packaging segments. Adjusted earnings per share came in better than our expectation in the quarter and increased by an impressive 21% on a two-year basis. Organic volumes, operating EBITDA, and cash flow, all finished in line with expectations, despite being impacted by considerable inflation in many of our input costs.

“As we navigate the current environment, we remain highly focused on cost productivity and are continuing to increase prices to offset rising input costs. We continue to prudently invest in each of our businesses to maintain and grow our world-class, low-cost manufacturing base, with an emphasis on organic growth and key growth markets and regions. The continued positive momentum from our investments in areas such as health and wellness, e-commerce, and food safety drive our business toward more sustainable packaging solutions and provide us with a path to deliver long-term, consistent, volume and earnings growth.”

Sonoco Participates in European Recycling Trials That Show Digital Watermarking Yields Accurate Container Sortation Results

The first HolyGrail 2.0 sorting prototype was successfully validated in March this year following semi-industrial trials, using NIR and digital watermarks detection to sort packaging waste with a 99 percent detection rate and the potential to develop new, more granular post-consumer recycling streams. The Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0, driven by AIM – European Brands Association, and powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, has the goal of assessing whether the digital watermarks technology can enable better sorting and higher-quality recycling rates for packaging in the EU. Today, more than 160 partners across the value chain are working together to refine and commercialize this concept. Sonoco, one of the largest global sustainable packaging companies, is a member of the HolyGrail 2.0 initiative to prove the viability of digital watermarking for sorting packaging waste and the business case at scale, likely with global implications. Trials in Copenhagen found that using digital watermarks on packaging resulted in 98 - 100 percent being correctly detected, with a subsequent total ejection rate of 90 - 100 percent.
