Continuing its mission to deliver sustainable solutions, ProAmpac announced a premium high barrier recyclable package for Ocean Spray’s Craveology Tuscan Herb snack mix.
The package uses ProActive Recyclable R-1000 film, part of the company’s ProActive Sustainability product offerings.
“Collaborating with Ocean Spray enabled ProAmpac to bring to market a recyclable film that outperforms traditional polyethylene (PE) films and offers excellent barrier properties and graphics quality,” said Maria Halford, VP of global marketing.
Designed to help brands meet their sustainability goals, R-1000 is available in standard or high-barrier versions, offering a recyclable high-performance alternative to conventional film laminations.
With high heat-resistance and premium sealant technology, R-1000 outperforms typical recyclable mono material films in high-speed form/fill/seal applications and provides superior seal quality.
“When developing R-1000, we wanted to ensure that it maintained the speed of vertical and horizontal form fill sealing machines and ran much faster than typical mono material films currently in the market. It has been engineered with high heat-resistance and unique sealant technology that resists ‘gum up’, burn-through and deformation during high-speed packaging,” said Hesam Tabatabaei, VP of product development and innovation for ProAmpac.
R-1000 film is recyclable in flexible polyethylene film streams and qualifies for store drop-off in North America. It is available with a registered matte or gloss finish, or with ProAmpac’s Signature Surfaces Paper Touch tactile enhancement.
