Amcor launches thinner lidding films
Amcor Flexibles has launched its thinner N-Gage lidding films, claimed to reduce pack weight by at least 10 percent. The film also allows mob-material packs to be produced, allowing total pack recycling.
Amcor N-Gage is a proprietary range of high barrier, peelable lidding films which seal directly onto APET trays. The mono-APET tray and lid can be fully recycled once the recycling stream is in place.
A recent study published by Eco-Emballages and Adelphe reports on key projects with leading food manufacturers designed to improve the recyclability of plastic based packaging. It concludes that the optimum packaging solution for trays and lids for sliced cured meat would be the development of a mono-material PET tray and a compatible lidding film which can be sealed to the tray.
With 68 plants in 21 countries, Amcor Flexibles Europe and Americas, a division of Amcor, is the world's largest supplier of flexible packaging.
