Wedoany.com Report on Feb 24th, ProAmpac recently announced the expansion of its ProActive Recyclable RP-2000 High Barrier series. This packaging platform is made from fiber-based materials and features curbside recyclability, designed to assist brands in transitioning from traditional non-recyclable high-barrier multilayer structures, such as paper/foil, paper/metallized polyethylene terephthalate (METPET), and certain film laminates, to more environmentally friendly options. The RP-2000 platform offers excellent oxygen and moisture barrier properties, making it particularly suitable for sensitive dry foods, including oatmeal, granola, cereals, spices, snacks, dried fruits, and nuts.
Hesam Tabatabaei, Chief Technology Officer at ProAmpac, stated, "As the trend towards fiberization in the packaging industry grows and fiber-based structures become more widely adopted, it is crucial to continuously enhance the functionality of paper-based materials. These innovative technologies enable brands to adopt curbside recyclable packaging while ensuring barrier performance, packaging integrity, and filling line efficiency are maintained."
The RP-2000 High Barrier series is designed with flexibility, compatible with various common packaging styles, offering different bag types and roll stock options to maintain stable performance throughout the packaging lifecycle. Its durable structure enhances resistance to flex cracking and effectively protects barrier properties during handling and folding. Furthermore, the series supports high-quality printing, allowing brands to achieve personalized designs on natural kraft, bleached, or coated paper.
Adam Edinger, Global Innovation Engineer at ProAmpac, added, "The RP-2000 High Barrier platform is designed to provide brands with a ready-to-use, curbside recyclable solution requiring minimal adjustments to filling lines. It has been tested on ultra-high-speed HFFS production lines, capable of handling up to 900 packages per minute. This fiber-based format ensures reliable performance, meeting current market expectations for sustainable packaging."
