Flexible packaging solutions provider American Packaging Corporation (APC) has unveiled its high-performance, sustainable, recycle-ready paper packaging.
The new packaging technology is the latest addition to APC’s RE sustainable packaging portfolio.
Designed for kerbside recyclability, the technology offers increased product protection levels, enhancing shelf life, flavour, and freshness.
In tests conducted by Western Michigan University, US, more than 85% of APC’s paper packaging was recovered, indicating a significant advancement in recyclable technology.
This new offering presents an end-of-life solution for traditionally nonrecyclable packaging structures such as polyethylene (PE) and PE laminates and is compatible with both heat-seal and cold-seal packaging formats.
The sustainable paper packaging technology also has a greater than 30% reduction in carbon footprint, aligning with eco-friendly initiatives.
