ProAmpac, a distributor in flexible packaging and material science, announces the issuance of multiple U.S. patents for its ProActive Sustainability recyclable and recycle-ready technologies. These patents mark a milestone in ProAmpac’s commitment to advancing mono-material packaging solutions, delivering brands access to high-performance, sustainable alternatives without compromising functionality or efficiency.
"Securing these patents is a testament to ProAmpac’s deep expertise in material science and our relentless drive to push the boundaries of sustainable packaging," said Hesam Tabatabaei, senior vice president of global product development and innovation. “As brands look to meet evolving sustainability goals, our patented mono-material technologies provide a seamless transition to recyclable flexible packaging while maintaining product shelf life, durability, and production efficiency they depend on.”
The granted patents cover key innovations, including:
- ProActive Recyclable R-2000 Series & R-2050 Series — Mono-material laminated technologies with heat resistance, seal characteristics, high clarity, durability, and a range of barrier options for dry and frozen foods, pet treats and kibbles, easy-opening snacks, liquids, and microwave steaming. These technologies are available in various formats including rollstock, stand-up pouches with various closures and fitments, and quad-seal bags up to 40 lbs.
- ProActive Recyclable R-1200—This mono-web recyclable platform is ideal for dry food packaging due to its very high heat resistance, clarity, and directional tear properties.
