Berry Global Group, Inc.
Berry Global Group, Inc (NYSE: BERY) a worldwide leader in packaging, has partnered with U.S.-based ice cream maker Wells Enterprises, Inc., to extend the Blue Bunny Twist Cones frozen treat line into single-serve, freezer-grade Twist pints. These new pints will be available at major U.S. retailers such as Walmart, Kroger, Food Lion, Albertson’s, Safeway and Publix and offer a sustainable twist on soft serve.
Groundbreaking Recyclable Packaging
The new Twist pints are made with widely recyclable polypropylene (PP) and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lid that together dramatically increase the recyclability of traditional ice cream packaging which typically uses plastic-lined paperboard. In addition to nestability during transport and storage to reduce wasted space and optimize supply chain efficiency.

They understand our need for innovative, sustainable packaging and have worked closely with us to develop it,” said Julee Zugel, Director of Strategic Sourcing at Wells Enterprises. “We appreciate how engaged they are with our team to understand new opportunities in the packaging arena.
