Cincinnati-based flexible packaging and material science company ProAmpac has introduced its patent pending ProActive Recyclable R-2200D Easy-Peel Open packaging. The company says its new product provides consumers a hassle-free snacking experience through its easy-peel, easy-to-open sealant technology.

ProAmpac’s R-2200D is a polyethylene- (PE-) based recyclable film the company says is designed to replace laminated, nonrecyclable structures used in snack packaging such as BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene)/BOPP, BOPP/MET BOPP (metalized bi-orientated polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate)/peelable PE and more. The packaging is engineered for high-speed form/film/seal applications and is prequalified for store drop-off recycling.

Adam Grose, ProAmpac chief commercial officer, says R-2200D represents the latest addition to the company’s ProActive Sustainability product family. “This comprehensive range of packaging solutions empowers our customers to achieve their sustainable packaging goals,” he says. “R-2200D, developed by ProAmpac’s material science team, seamlessly integrates with existing high-speed filling lines without impacting packing efficiencies.”

The new packaging is available in three oxygen and moisture barrier levels to ensure an ideal product fit for each application, the company says. It is available in gloss, registered matte or with ProAmpac’s signature surfaces.

“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,” ProAmpac Director of Global Sustainability Innovation Amir Saffar says. “Additionally, R-2200D has very good clarity for optimal product visibility and is available in high puncture resistance to increase packaging durability.”
