ProAmpac has expanded its ProActive Recyclable® RP-2000 High Barrier Series, extending the functional limits of fiber-based packaging designed to replace non-recyclable multilayer structures.
The RP-2000 platform is a curbside-recyclable, fiber-based solution engineered to deliver strong oxygen and moisture barriers. It targets sensitive dry food applications—including cereals, granola, snacks, spices, dried fruits, and nuts—traditionally packaged in paper/foil, metallized PET, or complex film laminations.
ProAmpac said the expanded platform is aimed at brands seeking fiber-based structures that preserve shelf-life performance while integrating smoothly into existing production environments. The company positions RP-2000 as a practical alternative that maintains package integrity and filling-line efficiency.
The RP-2000 High Barrier Series is available in multiple pouch formats and rollstock. According to ProAmpac, the material maintains barrier performance throughout the package lifecycle and offers strong resistance to flex cracking during handling and folding. It also supports high-quality printing on natural kraft, bleached, or clay-coated paper.
“As fiber-based packaging adoption accelerates, performance expectations rise with it,” said Hesam Tabatabaei, chief technology officer at ProAmpac. “Our focus is on extending the functional limits of paper-based materials so brands can transition to curbside-recyclable packaging without sacrificing barrier performance or line efficiency.”
ProAmpac added that the RP-2000 platform has been successfully trialed on high-speed horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) lines, operating at rates of up to 900 packs per minute, requiring minimal adjustment to existing filling lines.
ProAmpac is a global flexible packaging company specializing in material science and high-performance packaging solutions for food, beverage, and consumer markets.
