ProAmpac has introduced a new PE-based recyclable film, the ProActive Recyclable R-2200D Easy-Peel Open packaging. R-2200D offers consumers a "hassle-free" snacking experience due to its easy-peel and easy-to-open sealant technology. According to the company, the PE-based recyclable film is "designed to replace laminated, non-recyclable structures used in snack packaging". ProAmpac's chief commercial officer, Adam Grose, said: "R-2200D represents the latest addition to our ProActive Sustainability product family. This comprehensive range of packaging solutions empowers our customers to achieve their sustainable packaging goals." He added: "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 to ensure "an ideal product fit" for each application. Available in gloss, registered matte or with the brand's Signature Surfaces. Amir Saffar, director of global sustainability innovation for ProAmpac, highlighted: "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. Additionally, R-2200D has very good clarity for optimal product visibility and is available in high puncture resistance to increase packaging durability."
