ProActive Recyclable R-2000F
Engineered to maintain machine efficiencies on high-speed form/fill/seal lines, ProActive Recyclable R-2000F is a polyethylene-based laminated structure designed for excellent performance in cold temperature conditions. Compared to standard surface printed films, its enhanced stiffness and scuff-resistance offers outstanding display characteristics in the freezer case, boosting brand differentiation while supporting sustainable messaging. 

ProActive Recyclable R-2000F can be supplied with a pre-applied recyclable Inno-Lok® zipper. Ideal for running on high-speed vertical or horizontal form/fill/seal equipment, R-2000F is also available in pre-made pouch format. For additional differentiation in the freezer case, gloss or Signature Surfaces Registered Matte finish options are available.

ProActive Recyclable R-2000S
A innovative polyethylene-based film, ProActive Recyclable® R-2000S fulfills the market need for a recyclable packaging option that withstands the demands of a microwav e heating environment. ProActive Recyclable R-2000S is a patent-pending film designed to run on high-speed form/fill/seal equipment and is pre-qualified for store drop-off recycling.

ProActive Recyclable RP-1000
RP-1000 is the first in a series of curbside recyclable paper-based packaging solutions that are heat-sealable with good moisture barrier and excellent directional tear properties.  An ideal replacement for non- sustainable conventional multi-material laminates, RP-1000 is suited for frozen food applications such as ready-to-eat meals and vegetables. Pre-qualified for curbside recycling, RP-1000 can be recycled in both paper and mixed streams. 

RP-1000 series are available in rollstock, stand up, and three-side seal pouch formats. Using ProAmpac’s award-winning high definition (HD) flexographic printed graphics, RP-1000 is available in natural kraft or bleached versions for brand elevation and customization.
