ProAmpac announced that it is producing a high-barrier pouch made with 25% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials for JUSTIN’S newest product innovation, Nut Butter Covered Nuts.

To produce the new pouch, ProAmpac collaborated with its customer JUSTIN’S, maker of high quality nut butters and organic nut butter cups and snacks.
 
“This flexible package is one of the first commercial pouches for food packaging to combine such a high proportion of PCR material, reducing the carbon footprint of the package without sacrificing the high-barrier snack food requirements. We believe this is a pioneering step in food packaging to further enhance the sustainable advantages of a flexible format,” said Adam Grose, chief commercial officer for ProAmpac.
 
“We overcame the hazy and inconsistent appearance that typically occurs when utilizing a high content of PCR materials by combining flexographic inks and coating technologies, and by optimizing the lamination processes, all of which produces a package with standout shelf appeal,” explained Hesam Tabatabaei, ProAmpac’s director of research, innovation and technology.
