PRO-EVO® Makes Its Mark with Major Win at 2026 PAC Global Awards

CINCINNATI (MAR. 25, 2026)—ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, is celebrating a major win at the 2026 PAC Global Awards, where its PRO-EVO^® Recyclable SOS Bags, created in partnership with ScottsMiracle-Gro for the O.M. Scott & Sons lawn care line, earned Best in Class (Gold).

Recognized in the Sustainable Package Design: Package Circularity category, this award-winning bag is helping to reshape lawn and garden packaging. By replacing traditional plastic packaging with a curbside recyclable, paper-based solution, PRO-EVO^® proves that sustainability can be strong, scalable, and shelf-ready.

Designed to handle the real-world demands of lawn care products while delivering standout branding, the PRO-EVO^® Recyclable SOS Bag brings circular innovation to a category long dominated by plastic. The result is a packaging solution that looks great in-store and makes it easier for consumers to recycle at home.

“This recognition is a powerful example of what happens when innovation meets purpose,” said Nicole Cocuzzi, director of product development at ProAmpac. “Together with ScottsMiracle-Gro, we set out to rethink what lawn care packaging could be, and we delivered a solution that’s better for brands, consumers, and the planet.”

The PAC Global Awards celebrate the most innovative and impactful packaging from around the world. This latest honor reinforces ProAmpac’s leadership in advancing sustainable packaging through its ProActive Sustainability^® platform and its commitment to helping brands move confidently toward a more circular future.
