American Packaging Corporation (APC), a leader in flexible packaging solutions, has unveiled a breakthrough addition to its RE™ Sustainable Packaging portfolio. This new technology features high-performance, paper-based packaging designed for curbside recycling, while maintaining excellent product protection and extending shelf life.
The Future of Sustainable Packaging:
Traditionally, achieving both high performance and recyclability in packaging has been a challenge. APC’s innovation breaks this barrier, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional, non-recyclable packaging structures. Independent testing by Western Michigan University demonstrated that over 85% of APC’s high-performance paper packaging can be effectively recycled.
Benefits Beyond Recycling:
This new packaging solution goes beyond just recyclability. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Environmentally Friendly: Made with paper, this packaging boasts a greater than 30% reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional options. Additionally, it’s PVDC-free, eliminating a harmful chemical commonly used in packaging.
- Performance You Can Trust: Despite being paper-based, this packaging delivers exceptional protection for your products. It’s grease and aroma-resistant, with high MVTR and OTR barriers, ensuring product freshness and quality.
- Versatility for Various Products: APC’s new packaging is ideal for a variety of dry goods, including seasonings, spices, coffee, powdered drinks, cookies, crackers, cereal bars, and baking mixes. It comes in both stand-up and flat pouch formats, offering flexibility for different product needs.
Innovation Unveiled:
The new high-performance paper packaging was recently showcased at Pack Expo Chicago 2024 during APC’s Lounge & Learn event. For more information on this revolutionary technology, including samples, contact American Packaging at info@americanpackaging.com or 515-733-1406.
