Global flexible packaging giant Amcor has launched a new platform of paper-based packaging products.
The AmFiber range appears to be a direct responses to the shift in demand away from plastic packaging – Amcor said it’s ‘consumer-centric and adaptable approach to innovation’ uses the materials ‘most suited to their needs’.
The first AmFiber product launch in 2022 will be a tailored solution to provide snacks and confectionery customers in Europe a recyclable package that delivers a high barrier from oxygen and moisture.
Amcor said it will gradually extend its new paper-based offerings into a wide variety of applications such as coffee, drink powders, seasoning and soups as well as into the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions.
AmFiber innovations will join other Amcor paper-based products introduced recently, including solutions for butter and margarine in Latin America, for cheese in Europe and for confectionery in Australia.
Ron Delia, Amcor chief executive, said: “Amcor’s long-term experience in paper and carton packaging was the basis for launching the AmFiber platform. Amcor has a proven history of delivering ground-breaking innovation to support our customers’ growth aspirations. This family of differentiated paper-based products builds on Amcor’s extensive track record across multiple materials and applications.”
