Mono-Material Food Packaging

The ProAmpac ProActive Recycle Ready Retort RT-3000 packaging is a new patent-pending solution from the company that addresses the need for options that can be more readily recycled after use. The packaging is suited for both human and pet food, and is made with a mono-material to make it as recyclable as possible in contrast to other varieties on the market that are achieved with several materials in the mix. The packaging comes in both clear and opaque options that are supported by the ability to be easily stood up on store shelves, while also providing impressive resiliency against punctures and cracking.

Vice President of Product Development and Innovation at ProAmpac Hesam Tabatabaei spoke on the new ProAmpac ProActive Recycle Ready Retort RT-3000 packaging saying, "The multi-year development included successful validation on commercial high-speed filling lines and qualification in commercial retort chambers. RT-3000 delivers exceptional thermal stability, excellent stain and grease resistance, easy-open tear performance, and a superior oxygen and moisture barrier. Able to withstand aggressive retort conditions of 130C without sacrificing barrier properties, RT-3000 has been successfully tested in advance of our commercialization."
