"We are excited to have Berry join the NLCRC. Their demonstrated commitment to sustainability within the packaging industry is well aligned to the NLCRC's mission to develop a market sustaining program for lubricant container collection and recycling in the US." ~ Tristan Steichen, Director of NLCRC

"In direct alignment with our own sustainability goals and those of our customers, providing multiple lives to our natural resources is top of mind, Through collaboration across the value chain and with organizations such as NLCRC, we are moving the needle on recyclability and collection of plastic packaging." Jason Holsinger, Vice President of Sales, Containers

Addressing a challenge as complex as recovering post-consumer plastic packaging for recycling is not feasible for most individual companies, particularly when products are distributed throughout multiple regions and markets. Cost-effective solutions require collaboration with multiple stakeholders (including competitors), both upstream and downstream of the lubricant value chain. This coalition unites all entities that produce, handle, distribute, and recycle lubricants and plastic packaging to speak as a single voice for the industry, and to deliver results by creating systemic, collaborative solutions for post-consumer recovery and recycling.
