Swiss confectionery packaging experts Amcor has developed a new platform in order to develop recyclable paper-based wrapping solutions.
The company said its LifeSpan Performance Paper, launched this week in Europe, is the first new product on its global AmFiber platform.
The new wrapper is a high-barrier, grease-resistant paper-based solution for the snacks and confectionery market.
With more than 80% paper fibre content and PVDC-free, Amcor’s latest material innovation is recyclable across most European countries, and allows brands to respond to growing consumer requests for paper-based packaging.
Noemi Bertolino, VP R&D for Amcor’s EMEA flexibles business, said: “LifeSpan Performance Paper is a unique paper-based solution that provides a high barrier, even in tropical conditions. Our customers have confirmed excellent performance on their packing lines, and a high barrier after processing, overcoming two common challenges when switching to paper.”
