ProAmpac has a deep understanding of retailers’ commitments to sustainable packaging goals. Therefore, we strive to remove avoidable plastics and use the least amount of materials possible to reduce packaging weight. ProAmpac’s innovative fiber-based packaging is from sustainable certified forests and is widely recyclable in paper streams.
Throughout this document we have labelled each product system with the following icons when they use the EasyPeel system, if they are approved by OPRL and if they are FSC® or PEFC Certified.
EasyPeel
While the cardboard element of our packaging can easily be recycled, we found that customers and processors were having difficulty separating the cardboard from the film part of the pack – EasyPeel solves this issue and reduces resources needed at end of life in the waste stream.
The On-Pack Recycling Label (OPRL)
ProAmpac’s FreshPack sandwich packs and RapTray food trays have been assessed by WRAP and confirmed as widely recycled under OPRL’s current guidelines. This means that the entire pack may be disposed with cartonboard in the majority of recycling facilities in the UK.
Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) / Programme for the Endorsement for Forest Certification (PEFC)
We use mills and suppliers that are chain-of-custody certified to FSC® or PEFC standards. By evaluation of these suppliers we have been able to establish that our raw materials come from well-managed forests.
