ProAmpac Secured Three Honors at the 2024 AmeriStar Awards.

Chad Murdock, president of the fiber division at ProAmpac, said, “The recognition at the AmeriStar Awards reflects our relentless pursuit of innovative, sustainable packaging solutions. We’re honored to have our efforts acknowledged, especially as we continue to advance in areas like fiberization of packaging that contribute to a more circular economy future.”

Lynsey Maddison, director of product development at ProAmpac, said, “Our technical team is at the forefront of fiber packaging innovation across diverse markets. We are committed to advancing these technologies to help our customers achieve more sustainable packaging solutions. As we continue to explore new applications and improvements, our goal remains to drive impactful, eco-friendly advancements in the industry.”

According to the report, ProAmpac’s second award-winning innovation, the ProActive Recyclable® RP-1000 Paper Series, offers superior robustness and a premium natural look for packing organic potatoes. This fully recyclable packaging has premium sealant technology for running at rate on high-speed form-fill-seal equipment and is curbside recyclable in the UK, while also being FSC-certified for responsible sourcing.

To add to these two awards, ProAmpac contributed to a win in the Packaging that Saves Food category with the ProActive Recyclable FiberCool, an insulated paper bag for e-commerce delivery, the company said.

Ray Recchia, global innovation manager at ProAmpac, commented, “Our work on FiberCool exemplifies how we can innovate to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging without compromising on performance. By improving thermal insulation, we help reduce food spoilage and waste, giving customers more flexibility with their groceries after delivery.”
