ProAmpac has introduced the ProActive Recyclable R-2200D Easy-Peel Open packaging, a new PE-based recyclable film that makes snacking a “hassle-free” experience due to its easy-peel and easy-to-open sealant technology.
According to ProAmpac, the film is meant to replace laminated, non-recyclable structures used in snack packaging.
ProAmpac’s chief commercial officer, Adam Grose, noted that the R-2200D, developed by ProAmpac’s material science team, seamlessly integrates with existing high-speed filling lines without impacting packing efficiencies.
The solution is available in three oxygen and moisture barrier levels gloss, registered matte or with the brand’s Signature Surfaces, to ensure an ideal product fit for each application.
Amir Saffar, director of global sustainability innovation for ProAmpac, emphasized that R-2200D, like all ProAmpac R-2000 recyclable films, is engineered to deliver superior heat resistance on the outside and excellent peelable seal characteristics in the inside, making it perfect for high-speed filling operations.
The R-2200D also has very good clarity for optimal product visibility and is available in high puncture resistance to increase packaging durability.
