February 15, 2022 EcoVadis EN


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.

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.
