PE/EVOH-PE/mLLDPE, AmPrima Plus film, when recycled, delivers a 75% reduction in non-renewable energy use, a 58% reduction in carbon footprint, and a 54% reduction in water consumption.

Also on the innovation front, Amcor Rigid Packaging introduced its DairySeal line of packaging ( 12) that features ClearCor, an advancement in oxygen barrier technology for PET bottles. The new barrier technology, says the company, has “higher levels of concentration encapsulation in the center of the preform, allowing less barrier to be used while being more e ective.” This allows for more PCR in use, longer empty bottle shelf life, and improved design options for the fluid dairy segment. The technology has a positive impact on the overall performance of the barrier and maintains recyclablilty.

“PET is the most recycled plastic in the world, with more than 1.8 billion lb of used PET bottles and containers recovered in the U.S. each year alone,” notes Greg Rosati, Amcor Rigid Packaging vice president of marketing and strategy for specialty containers.

“With the development of our DairySeal line, we are able to o er PET packaging that helps improve sustainability for brands in the dairy alternatives, nutritional drinks, and ready-to-drink co ee space.”
