CINCINNATI, September 05, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ProAmpac, a leader in flexible packaging and materials science, is pleased to announce its triple-win performance at the 2024 AmeriStar Awards, securing two wins in the Sustainable Packaging category and contributing to a third recognition for an innovative e-commerce solution. The awards highlight ProAmpac’s commitment to sustainability and innovation with the RAP Sandwich Wedge for Sammi’s; the ProActive Recyclable RP-1000 Paper Series for Marks & Spencer’s organic potatoes; and the ProActive Recyclable FiberCool insulated paper bag.
“AmeriStar’s recognition reflects our relentless pursuit of innovative and sustainable packaging solutions,” said Chad Murdock, president of ProAmpac’s fiber division. “We are honored to have our efforts recognized, especially as we continue to make progress in areas such as packaging fiberization which contribute to a circular economy.”
Developed for Sammi’s grab-and-go sandwiches, the high-protection RAP Sandwich Wedge, with its premium appearance, uses a fiber-based paperboard with a clear window. This innovative solution uses modified atmosphere packaging, optimizing product preservation and visibility while maintaining very low oxygen levels for extended shelf life and reduced food waste.
Designed for Marks & Spencer’s organic potatoes, ProAmpac’s second award-winning innovation, the ProActive Recyclable® RP-1000 Paper Series, offers superior strength and a premium natural appearance for organic potato packaging. This fully recyclable packaging features high-end sealing technology to operate at high speeds on form-fill-seal equipment and is kerbside recyclable in the UK, while being FSC certified for responsible sourcing.

In addition to these two awards, ProAmpac contributed to a victory in the category Packaging that prevents food waste with the ProActive Recyclable FiberCool, an insulated paper bag for e-commerce delivery.
