ProAmpac, a manufacturer of flexible packaging solutions, has announced the commercial launch of its ProActive Recycle-Ready polyolefin-based platform, specifically designed for high-speed chunk cheese applications.

This new packaging solution represents a significant leap forward in recyclable dairy packaging, offering enhanced performance while ensuring product freshness and shelf life.

The newly developed Recycle-Ready films are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of chunk cheese production. They provide excellent clarity, allowing products to maintain an appealing presentation on retail shelves.

Additionally, these films boast robust puncture resistance and can endure high temperatures encountered during the filling process.

The advanced sealing technology employed in these films allows for a very low seal initiation temperature, significantly reducing the risk of leaks on high-speed filling lines.

Ebrahim Jalali Dil, global senior innovation manager at ProAmpac, said: “These specialised films deliver outstanding abrasion resistance and have successfully passed rigorous transportation testing, ensuring dependable product protection from production through distribution”.

The versatility of the platform is further enhanced by a range of barrier options tailored to various cheese formats and moisture levels, enabling dairy brands to maintain both freshness and shelf appeal.

Designed for compatibility with polyethylene (PE) recycling streams, the ProActive Recycle-Ready platform can also incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, providing an environmentally responsible solution for cheese brands committed to sustainability.
