In addition to being recyclable, the new pouch leverages nearly 10% less packaging material when compared with the non-recyclable version.

ProAmpac product development manager Manuel Jaggi said: “A key challenge ProAmpac faced when developing this recyclable, foil-free pouch was to deliver superior toughness and drop resistance for 1kg of salt product inside while using less material.”

“R-1050 not only delivers the durability required, but it also provides high heat resistance, which maintains filling machine efficiency. In addition, its high surface gloss gives the packaging a pop-off-the-shelf appeal.”

Westlab uses ProActive Recyclable R-1050 film, which is part of ProAmpac’s ProActive Sustainability product offerings for the bathing salts. It is the first time the film is used in commercial packaging.

The pouch is approved for polyethylene film collection streams.

Westlab’s bath salts are available at fine retailers in the EU and US.

Last month, ProAmpac launched ProActive Recyclable R-2000F under its ProActive Sustainability product family. This patent-pending film has been prequalified for store drop-off recycling through polyethylene recycling streams.

In a separate development, adhesive coating and laminating solution provider FLEXcon has launched a new line of eco-friendly packaging products FLEXcon optiFLEX ecoFOCUS.

The new line features FLEXcon’s new V-52RE adhesive and will be used for primary labelling applications.
