Packaging manufacturing giant ProAmpac has announced the launch of its one-of-a-kind ProActive PCR® Retort pouches, which arrive as a result of the increasing demand for innovative post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging solutions.
The ProActive PCR® Retort pouches contain 30% or greater total PCR content, which is accomplished, in large part, by the company's choice to reduce the use of virgin resins. In addition, the packaging is available for both human and pet food options and complies with the United Kingdom (UK) Plastics Packaging Tax (PPT).
“ProAmpac is pleased to announce the latest addition to the ProActive Sustainability® product family with ProActive PCR Retort. These pouches, coupled with our Recycle Ready Retort RT-3000, deliver on ProAmpac’s promise to innovate more sustainable retort packaging solutions,” states Adam Grose, chief commercial officer for ProAmpac.
