The Amcor LifeSpan Performance Paper recyclable paper confectionery packaging has been unveiled by the brand as a high-barrier solution for companies seeking to utilize an eco-friendly solution. The packaging is reported to be grease-resistant with more than 80% paper fiber content that makes use of FSC-certified paper while also being PVDC-free and recyclable across most of Europe. The packaging is expected to start showing up in stores for confectionery and snacks in 2022 with additional plans for coffee and culinary in the near future.
VP of Research and Development for Amcor's EMEA Business Noemi Bertolino spoke on the new Amcor LifeSpan Performance Paper recyclable paper confectionery packaging saying, "LifeSpan Performance Paper is a unique paper-based solution that provides a high barrier, even in tropical conditions. Our customers have confirmed excellent performance on their packing lines, and a high barrier after processing, overcoming two common challenges when switching to paper. This launch is the result of Amcor’s approach to material innovation. We aim to continually enhance the sustainability of packaging, while delivering the performance that brands require. Currently, we’re in development for further applications of LifeSpan Performance Paper – such as coffee, spices, dried soups and more."
