ProAmpac's ProActive Recyclable RP-1000 was recognized in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetables category for collaborating with Marks and Spencer’s Select Farms Organic potato range. This company says its curbside recyclable fiber-based packaging solution features “eye-catching graphics and has excellent robustness for product protection and premium sealant technology for running at rate on high-speed form-fill-seal equipment.”

ProAmpac Director of Product Development Lynsey Maddison says the company is honored to be recognized as a finalist. “Our collaboration with Marks and Spencer on this sustainable packaging solution underscores our commitment to providing environmentally responsible options that meet the evolving needs of consumers and retailers," Maddison says.

Additionally, the company has announced that Kevin Vyse, head of technical for its RAP products, has been nominated and shortlisted as an Environmental Champion for his contributions in the Business Performance Categories.

The company says its commitment to sustainability extends beyond materials to include responsible sourcing practices, ensuring the promotion of sustainable forestry practices. “We believe sustainable packaging solutions are integral to the industry’s future, and we are proud to play a role in driving positive change,” Vyse says.

The Environmental Packaging Awards ceremony will take place at The Park Plaza Victoria in London on June 26. This year’s event will feature a reimagined format focused on networking opportunities and brand exposure.
