ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, has announced the commercialisation of its new fiber-based product line, ProActive Recyclable RP-1050. Initially introduced in North America, the RP-1050 product line has already achieved significant commercial success by providing a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic film overwraps. With its availability now extended to Europe, ProAmpac is further solidifying its commitment to global sustainability by offering locally manufactured versions of this innovative packaging solution.
The RP-1050 platform represents a significant advancement in the packaging industry, offering brands a curbside recyclable alternative to the plastic films commonly used in overwraps. Jim Tierney, ProAmpac’s Vice President of Product Development, emphasised the product’s sustainability credentials, stating: “RP-1050 is a prime example of a sustainable product with multi-regional applications, helping brands worldwide achieve their sustainability goals.

Designed specifically for products such as bathroom tissue, paper towels, and feminine care items, RP-1050 combines high-performance features with environmental responsibility. The packaging is available in both natural kraft and bleached versions, and it utilises ProAmpac’s high-definition flexographic printing technology to enhance brand visibility and consumer engagement.
The commercial success of RP-1050 highlights a growing shift within the industry towards sustainable packaging solutions that meet both performance and environmental standards. By replacing traditional plastic films with a recyclable fiber-based alternative, ProAmpac is helping brands reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining the functionality and visual appeal necessary for high-speed packaging operations.
