“Our exhibit underscores ProAmpac’s reputation for packaging innovation and our commitment to a circular economy,” said Adam Grose, chief commercial officer. Pack Expo runs Sept. 27-29 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

ProActive Recyclable Product Group

Since the launch of its first high performance ProActive Recyclable film, R-1000, for form/fill/seal applications and preformed pouches, ProAmpac has introduced five recycle ready products, all of which will be on display for the first time in Las Vegas:

- Recyclable Paper Touch

- Recycle Ready Retort

- Recyclable Film for Frozen Applications

- Recyclable Film and premade pouches for dry applications

- QUADFLEX Recyclable

Adam Grose states, “Offering recyclable solutions today provides the industry with commercially available options to advance their sustainable product development objectives. ProAmpac is committed to serving the world's brand owners with the most advanced materials while also making sure these materials run at-rate on existing filling and converting equipment.”

Fresh Food and Fresh Food-to-Go

Visitors can examine a variety of flexible paper solutions for the food-service category including paper-based delivery; carry-out and tamper-evident bags; paper merchandise bags; and self-opening sacks. Fresh-food-to-go packaging includes sandwich packs, trays, wraps and soft packs. By weight, the largest component of ProAmpac’s fresh-food-to-go packaging is paperboard and paper, and the fiber used is a certified, renewable resource from well-managed forests.

Attendees can inspect the new RecycAll Freshpack. Considered a market first, the RecycAll Freshpack sandwich skillet is an all-fiber sandwich pack with a window. Currently being market tested in the UK, plans are underway for the product to be introduced globally soon.

“Our packaging for convenience foods supports the shift to a circular economy as well as the goal of keeping food fresher and longer,” Grose added.

Bigger Paper Story

ProAmpac’s paper solutions include retail and take-out shopping bags, mailers, and multiwall bags for snacks and dry food applications including pet food.

This year, ProAmpac expanded its substantial capabilities in paper-based markets with the acquisition and integration of APC Paper Group, a leading producer of recycled paper packaging products for foodservice and retail markets; El Dorado Packaging, a leading producer of consumer and industrial multi-wall packaging solutions; and Canada’s Rosenbloom Groupe, specializing in the manufacturing of paper bags and other products, supplying to North American retailers, grocery chains and quick-service restaurants (QSR), as well as wholesale distribution companies.
