Walmart has designated Amcor's AmSky and AmPrima products with a place on the retailer’s “Circular Connector” platform.
Walmart established Circular Connector as a platform that makes it easier for sourcing teams and brands to quickly find more sustainable packaging solutions for the products they put on Walmart shelves.
Amcor, based in Switzerland, says AmSky is a recycle-ready blister pack for pharmaceuticals. AmSky is polyvinyl chloride- (PVC-) and aluminum-free and made predominantly with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). “It is designed for recycling in rigid and flexible recycling streams,” the company adds.
AmPrima is a portfolio of recycle-ready packaging solutions with a low-carbon footprint, applicable in different packaging formats from bags to packs and pouches, for both solid and liquid content, Amcor says, noting AmPrima offers the barrier, material stiffness, seal strength, graphics performance and fast run speeds packaging buyers require, but with increased recyclability potential.
“The inclusion of AmSky and AmPrima not only puts more sustainable packaging options within reach of suppliers and brands aiming for positive change but also streamlines the process of adopting alternative choices,” says Roawin Luo, director of global product management at Amcor.
“Our readily available solutions help guide brands looking to embrace sustainability, while also fostering a community of stakeholders along the circular value chain journey.”
“As a judge for the U.S. Plastic Pact first Sustainable Packaging Innovation Award, I was excited to see the AmSky blister package from Amcor included in Walmart’s Circular Connector,” says Cheryl Lam, private brands director for sustainable initiatives at Walmart. “I’m looking forward to seeing AmSky blisters and AmPrima bags and pouches at my local Walmart in the near future.”
