    Amcor Wins Two 2018 Alufoil Trophies

    Amcor’s PolyInert laminates, which enable sensitive pharmaceuticals to be packaged in stick-pack form, won the Resource Efficiency category, and AluFix Retort Xtra, the newest addition to the successful AluFix range, won the Technical Innovation award.

    PolyInert Laminates
    This material helps keep pharmaceutical patients safe because its stable and inert high barrier doesn’t interact with or absorb active pharmaceutical ingredients and keeps medication effective longer.

    The panel also praised the sustainability of the PolyInert stick-pack format, noting that “it delivers a huge saving in material use and energy consumed in making.” The smaller size of the stick pack requires 40% less material than four-side-seal sachets commonly used for pharmaceutical powders, liquids and gels. The package has carbon footprint that is up to 30% smaller and consumes 39 percent less water in the manufacturing process.

    AluFix Retort Extra
    The aluminum foil membrane makes more convenient peelable lidding practical on metal cans for a wider range of food products.  For the first time, that includes on cans containing foods with low pH values of 2-4, or those containing salts, spices and oils that can corrode or damage packaging materials.  

    The judging panel recognized the sealing and brand differentiation properties of AluFix Retort Xtra offers – that it is printable, puncture resistant, and sealable onto both plain and PP-lacquered tinplates, and lacquered aluminum rings.

    The judges commended the easy-to-peel can-end for its low environmental impact too. Recyclable in the aluminum stream, with at least 50% lighter weight and up to a 30% smaller carbon footprint, AluFix Retort Xtra is more sustainable than traditional ring-pull openings.

    A Better Environment Through Innovation
    Amcor said that improvements to both the PolyInert Laminates and AluFix Retort Xtra typify the company’s commitment to partnering with customers on sustainable packaging.

    “We are constantly innovating and improving our products and services, and these latest Alufoil awards are further evidence of what we’re achieving,” said Andrea Della Torre, senior R&D director. “We are giving customers best-in-class technical solutions that also help them differentiate their products in the market.”
