To overcome these challenges
The pet retailer collaborated with ProAmpac, a flexible packaging leader, that offers innovative and sustainable solutions. ProAmpac recommended their ProActive Recyclable R-2150D EU Film, which is a high-performance film that uses 100% recycled polyethylene resin.
This film has several advantages, such as:
- It can run at high speeds on horizontal form/fill/seal machines, achieving the same packing rates as conventional films
- It has good tear characteristics that allow easy opening of the pouches
- It is compatible with PE zipper application that enables resealing of the pouches
- It has a high barrier that provides sufficient shelf life for the pet treats
- It has a How2Recycle label that informs consumers about store drop-off recycling
By using the ProActive Recyclable R-2150D EU Film, the pet retailer was able to achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on quality or convenience. This success story shows how the pet retailer and ProAmpac worked together to create a packaging solution that benefits both the environment and the consumers.
