Amcor, one of the global leaders in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, has earned a Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) Silver Achievement Award for its AmPrima PE Plus recycle-ready pouch for Lahli Morning Protein Bites.

The pouch features Amcor’s AmPrima PE Plus recycle-ready film, which employs various technologies, including proprietary techniques, to deliver recycle-ready alternatives without compromising performance. It matches the clarity, stiffness, heat resistance, surface energy and abuse resistance of the unrecyclable incumbent film.

To aid recycling efforts, the pouch carries a How2Recycle label for the PE stream, clearly communicating store drop-off recycling instructions.

In addition, the pouch enhances performance, and thanks to the use of Amplify finishing technologies, it stands out on a shelf and creates an elevated consumer experience while delivering consistent operational performance.

The pouch features a tactile, scuff-resistant matte over lacquer, conveying a natural feel.

“Utilising Amcor’s global innovation resources, we are proud to have developed for our customer a new, more responsible packaging solution that does not compromise performance,” Amcor Flexibles North America research and development vice-president Brian Carvill said.

“It is an honour to be recognised for our deep capabilities in material science and packaging technologies and a strong commitment to solving complex environmental and performance challenges.”

Since 1956, the FPA Achievement Awards have showcased industry innovation and advances that have changed the packaging industry. Amcor’s winning pouch was announced at the FPA’s Annual Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards Competition.
