Turning Scale into Solutions: Advancing What’s Next in Sustainable Packaging at Interpack 2026

CINCINNATI (MAY 05, 2026)—ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, will showcase new sustainable innovations at Interpack 2026, highlighting advancements in recyclable film and fiber structures, expanded manufacturing scale, and deep material science expertise following its recent acquisitions. The event takes place May 7–13 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

At booth 10D21, attendees and media will get a first look at how ProAmpac is translating material science expertise into scalable, high-performance packaging. Following its acquisitions of TC Transcontinental Packaging and PAC Worldwide, the company is leveraging its combined film and fiber capabilities to address complex challenges related to sustainability, performance, and regulatory readiness.

ProAmpac will also debut Proteinfication™, a portfolio of flexible packaging designed for meat, poultry, and protein applications that deliver enhanced protection, efficiency, and performance. Media are invited to schedule briefings to learn more about these innovations, ProAmpac’s approach to evolving regulations such as the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), and how its expanded offering is helping customers navigate complexity and grow globally.

“Our recent acquisitions of TC Transcontinental Packaging and PAC Worldwide have significantly expanded what we can deliver to our customers,” said Francis Minogue, president of ProAmpac Europe. “What’s most exciting is how quickly we’re turning that scale into real-world solutions that not only meet evolving regulatory requirements like PPWR but also give customers greater confidence in supply and performance.”

A Bigger Platform. More Possibilities.

ProAmpac’s presence at Interpack reflects its evolution into a global packaging partner with the footprint and expertise to support customers across regions. By bringing together film and fiber capabilities, the company is developing high-performance, more sustainable packaging formats across a wide range of applications.

Turning Regulatory Change into Opportunity

 As regulations like the EU’s PPWR reshape the industry, ProAmpac is helping customers stay ahead. Through a cross-functional approach that integrates recyclability, material compliance, and data-driven design, the company is delivering mono-material and fiber-based packaging that meets performance requirements while advancing circularity.

“With ProAmpac’s strong presence in Europe, backed by our global reach and robust supply network, customers can feel confident they are in safe hands, even in a challenging macro environment,” Minogue added. “At Interpack, we’re showing how brands can move faster with packaging that delivers on both innovation and reliability.”

Thought Leadership on a Global Stage

 ProAmpac experts will also contribute to the Interpack 2026 program, sharing insights into the future of sustainable packaging design.

Lynsey Maddison, product development director at ProAmpac, will present at the SPOTLIGHT Forum on May 12 at 14:00 CEST. Her session, “Delivering Materials Aligned to Design for Recycling,” will explore the development of mono-material and fiber-based packaging solutions that meet recycling guidelines in the UK and Europe, with a focus on applications in the pet care market.
