The RecyClass Recycling Process Certification, a widely recognized standard, confirms that post-industrial and post-consumer plastic waste is reliably processed into recycled material, forming the starting point for the chain of custody.

Eco-efficiency meets market muscle as flexible packaging converters double down on sustainability and consolidation.

Each PCR film structure developed by Fox undergoes rigorous testing for strength, seal integrity, and print quality to ensure the same dependable performance as virgin materials.

Investment will help customers meet their sustainability goals through the conversion to more sustainable packaging solutions, reflecting Amcor’s commitment to expand the AmPrima® portfolio of recycle-ready materials.

During the year, Amcor continued to bring new innovations to market that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency in line with its belief that all packaging can be circular.

Fresh off a successful collaboration with Walmart to get potato packaging with PCR content onto store shelves, Kevin Kelly of Emerald Packaging talks about the challenges of getting sustainable flexible packaging into the market.

The Air Peel Technology delivers 25% stronger seals and 50% greater breathability than comparable products, supporting faster, more reliable sterilization cycles and ensuring packaging integrity in demanding conditions.

Certification confirms that the GreenPod Home range can break down and biodegrade in domestic conditions, leaving no toxic residues or persistent microplastics behind.

We look at three groups approaching packaging sustainability from three different angles: adopting modern packaging equipment, recycling flexible plastic, and harmonizing data collection to meet EPR requirements.

The adoption of PCR materials can reframe risk as an opportunity to strengthen the value of plastics in a circular economy, says NOVA Chemicals’ Owen Lightbody. Converters are at the center of this transformation, helping brand owners to recognize long-term system benefits.
