(AFP) Feb 17, 2026
CINCINNATI, Feb 17, 2026 (BSW) - ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, announces the expansion of its ProActive Recyclable(R) RP-2000 High Barrier Series. This curbside recyclable, fiber-based packaging platform is designed to help brands transition away from traditional non-recyclable high-barrier multilayer structures, such as paper/foil, paper/metalized polyethylene terephthalate (METPET), and certain film laminations. The RP-2000 platform provides strong barriers to oxygen and moisture, making it well-suited for sensitive dry food products such as oatmeal, granola, cereal, spices, snacks, dried fruits, and nuts.

ProAmpac's RP-2000MHB Series


"Supporting the growing Fiberization of Packaging(R) movement, and as adoption of fiber-based structures accelerates, it is critical that ProAmpac continues to expand the functional performance envelope of paper-based materials. These technologies enable brands to transition to curbside recyclable packaging while maintaining required barrier properties, package integrity, and filling-line efficiency," said Hesam Tabatabaei, chief technology officer at ProAmpac.

Designed for flexibility across common package styles, the RP-2000 High Barrier Series is available in different pouch formats and rollstock, maintaining strong performance throughout the package's life. Its durable construction offers excellent flex-crack resistance and maintains its barrier properties during handling and folding. It also offers high-quality printing capabilities, enabling brands to create distinctive designs on natural kraft, bleached, or clay-coated paper.

"RP-2000 High Barrier platform was created to give brands a drop-in curbside recyclable solution with minimum adjustment on filling lines and has successfully trialed on a super high-speed HFFS line running up to 900 packs per minute," says Adam Edinger, global innovation engineer for ProAmpac. "It delivers dependable performance in a fiber-based format that aligns with today's expectations."
