Paper Packaging

Taking place once in 3 years, interpack in Dusseldorf is the largest trade fair for processing and packaging. A record number of companies took part in the success of the previous edition. Messe Dusseldorf opened its doors to 2860 exhibitors from 55 countries and 170,899 visitors from 169 countries.

Circular Economy

Even if you have only a nodding acquaintance with the range of topics surrounding sustainability in industry, you will have come across this term: the circular economy. Although this model may be remarkably simple, it is also all-encompassing.

This innovative high-barrier packaging provides a sustainable, recyclable, paper-based alternative to the multi-laminate plastic structures commonly used for long shelf-life products. Just as importantly, it can be recycled in existing fibre recycling streams. oneBARRIER FiberCycle represents the kind of packaging the world needs right now, enabling brand owners to reduce their reliance on fossil-based or non-recyclable materials, increase their use of renewable materials, and meet their sustainability targets.

Co-creating the future

“By combining our ProActive Recyclable film with ProAmpac’s Signature Surfaces Paper Touch coating we are able to help customers achieve sustainability goals while reinforcing brand appeal with a premium textured product package,” said Maria Halford, vice president of global marketing.

The natural look and feel of the Signature Surfaces Paper Touch resonates with organic, and “natural” preferences of many consumers, while offering CPG customers yet another opportunity for their brands to stand apart on the shelf.
