"The recognition by AmeriStar reflects our relentless pursuit of innovative and sustainable packaging solutions," said Chad Murdock, president of the fiber division at ProAmpac. "We're honored to have our efforts acknowledged, especially as we continue to advance in areas like the fiberization of packaging that contribute to a more circular economy."
Developed for Sammi’s grab-and-go sandwiches, the high-barrier RAP Sandwich Wedge, with a premium shelf appearance, utilizes a fiber-based carton board with a transparent window. This innovative solution employs modified atmosphere packaging, optimizing product preservation and visibility while maintaining very low oxygen levels for extended shelf life and decreased food waste.
Designed for Marks & Spencer’s organic potatoes, ProAmpac’s second award-winning innovation, the ProActive Recyclable® RP-1000 Paper Series, offers superior robustness and a premium natural look for packing organic potatoes. This fully recyclable packaging has premium sealant technology for running at rate on high-speed form-fill-seal equipment and is curbside recyclable in the UK, while also being FSC-certified for responsible sourcing.
"Our technical team is at the forefront of fiber packaging innovation across diverse markets," said Lynsey Maddison, director of product development at ProAmpac. "We are committed to advancing these technologies to help our customers achieve more sustainable packaging solutions. As we continue to explore new applications and improvements, our goal remains to drive impactful, eco-friendly advancements in the industry.”
In addition to these two awards, ProAmpac contributed to a win in the Packaging that Saves Food category with the ProActive Recyclable FiberCool, an insulated paper bag for e-commerce delivery. This fiber-based, curbside-recyclable solution replaces a bulky traditional multi-package system, reducing packaging weight and drastically enhancing thermal retention. “Our work on FiberCool exemplifies how we can innovate to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging without compromising on performance,” said Ray Recchia, global innovation manager at ProAmpac. “By improving thermal insulation, we help reduce food spoilage and waste, giving customers more flexibility with their groceries after delivery,” adds Recchia.
As ProAmpac continues to innovate, it remains dedicated to enhancing sustainability and product performance. For more information on ProAmpac’s award-winning packaging solutions, visit ProAmpac.com or contact Marketing@ProAmpac.com.
