Innovation in Eco-Friendly Packaging from American Packaging
American Packaging Corporation Introduces New Recyclable Packaging
American Packaging Corporation (APC) continues to lead in sustainable solutions with the expansion of its RE™ Sustainable Packaging portfolio, adding new high-performance paper-based packaging technologies. These innovations are designed for curbside recyclability and prioritize product protection, shelf life extension, and preserving product flavor.
Recoverability Rate of High-Performance Packaging
In studies by Western Michigan University, it was demonstrated that over 85% of APC's high-performance paper packaging can be recovered through repulping tests. This advanced technology provides a sustainable alternative to traditional non-recyclable packaging structures, such as Paper/PE/Foil/PE laminates, while being suitable for both heat-seal and cold-seal packaging formats.
Environmental Impact and Benefits
APC’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its paper packaging, which boasts an impressive reduction of over 30% in carbon footprint. The green attributes of the technology include being free from PVDC, and offering grease and aroma resistance, alongside high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) barriers. These features make the packaging ideal for dry goods including seasonings, spices, coffee, powdered drinks, cookies, crackers, and baking mixes.
Unveiling at Pack Expo Chicago 2024
The latest advancements in high-performance paper technology were showcased at the recent Pack Expo Chicago 2024 during APC's Lounge & Learn event. Attendees had the opportunity to see how these innovations can transform packaging in various sectors while contributing to sustainability goals.
