Berry Global accelerates portfolio-wide modernization

Like many large manufacturers, Berry Global faced intense competition for internal capital. Traditional financing models would add debt, while piecemeal projects risked safety and disruption across highly complex facilities. At the same time, outdated lighting across nearly the entire portfolio consumed excess energy, inflated maintenance costs, and slowed progress toward sustainability goals. 

Redaptive deployed its Infrastructure Monetization model, which combines turnkey project execution, funding, and digital measurement and verification (M&V), to unlock rapid and scalable impact without straining Berry’s capital budgets. 

The program retrofitted 26,992 fixtures across 7.6 million square feet of facilities. By taking a programmatic approach, Redaptive ensured safe installation in active manufacturing environments and provided centralized reporting to support sustainability, energy, and safety commitments. 

The LED retrofit program addressed 26,992 fixtures across 7.6 million square feet, driving measurable impact across Berry’s portfolio. Over the next ten years, the upgrades will avoid 81,344 metric tons of CO₂e emissions, equal to removing the annual emissions of 15,829 homes. These efficiency gains resulted in substantial reductions in lighting-related energy costs, delivering a significant impact on EBITDA while preserving Berry’s capital for core manufacturing priorities and freeing internal resources to focus on running their facilities.
