ProAmpac and Purition pioneer high barrier recyclable paper sachet for nutritional powders
Flexible packaging and material science leader, ProAmpac, in partnership with Purition, a wholefood nutrition producer, announced a breakthrough with ProActive Recyclable® paper sachets for powered meal shakes. This fully recyclable high barrier paper sachet replaces Purition’s original multilayer non-recyclable packaging. “Purition engaged with ProAmpac’s material-science experts to create a recyclable packaging solution for their nutritional powders. This partnership led to the launch of ProActive Recyclable paper sachet and is further proof that collaborative innovation brings pioneering sustainable paper packaging to market,” said Adam Grose, chief commercial officer for ProAmpac.
Purition and ProAmpac enhanced sustainability characteristics of ProActive Recyclable paper sachet by minimizing the overall material without sacrificing product protection characteristics. Also, ProActive Recyclable paper sachet can easily be recycled in paper streams.
“This unique paper-based technology offers a high oxygen and moisture barrier needed for dry powder protection. The product also has optimum stiffness for shelf appearance and consumer handling,” said Lynsey Maddison, senior product development manager for ProAmpac Europe.
ProActive Recyclable paper sachets are digitally printed by ProAmpac Ultimate Digital allowing Purition to smoothly transition to the new structure with minimal graphic adjustments. “All items are run as a composite and the high-quality print maintains Purition’s minimalist earth tone pallet, ensuring clear and crisp labelling for consumers,” said Ms Maddison.
“As an environmentally focused brand, Purition wanted to provide consumers with more sustainable packaging. We approached ProAmpac with this challenge and they answered with a novel paper sachet solution that is easy to recycle. This new format coupled with crisp digitally printed graphics supports Purition’s brand and sustainability promise,” said Edward Taylor from Purition.

BASF welcomes reclassification of recyclability of coextruded polyethylene/polyamide film structures
The Central Agency Packaging Register has reclassified the recyclability of polyamides in the minimum standard for assessing the recyclability of packaging subject to system participation pursuant to Section 21 (3) VerpackG. Since September 1, coextruded polyethylene (PE)/polyamide (PA) film structures have been recognized as mechanically recyclable.
Dr Rolf-Egbert Grützner, senior manager technical support for Ultramid extrusion polyamides at BASF said: “It was time to correct the categorisation of polyamide 6 and also the related PA6/6.6 co-polyamides and put them on a solid updated basis.”
As early as June 2021, the independent testing and certification facility cyclos- HTP systematically examined and confirmed the recyclability of PE/PA multilayer films on behalf of BASF. The use of coextruded PE/ PA film structures in multilayer films makes it possible to produce very thin films (downgauging), which significantly reduces the use of plastics and also the amount of waste. The reclassification is visible through the change in Annex 3 (fraction “Film and LDPE (low-density polyethylene)”) of the minimum standard for the assessment of recyclability of packaging subject to system participation pursuant to Section 21 (3) VerpackG.
