[**Amcor**](http://www.amcor.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **has collaborated with** [**Lorenz Snacks**](http://www.lorenz-snacks.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **to launch new ‘recycle-ready’ packaging for its Lentil Coated Peanuts product, which has a reported 51% carbon footprint reduction.**

Lorenz has apparently a “good” rating for recyclability across 92% of its primary packaging from third-party [cyclos-HTP](https://www.cyclos-htp.de/cyclos-htp/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io), with a target to convert the remaining percentages to highly recyclable by the end of 2025\. 

Lorenz’s Lentil Coated Peanuts pack is based on Amcor’s AmPrima portfolio of mono-material packaging options. The new packaging is said to achieve a 51% reduction carbon footprint and water consumption, and 41% reduction in non-renewable energy use. Amcor says this applies when based on cradle-to-grave analysis of baseline packaging vs. AmPrima packaging, assuming 100% incineration with energy recovery for the baseline packaging, and 100% mechanical recycling for the new packaging. 

Apparently, the packs are certified for recyclability by cyclos-HTP in the countries where PE or PP recycling streams exist and align with CEFLEX design for a circular economy [guidelines](https://guidelines.ceflex.eu/guidelines/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io). Amcor states that traditional nut packaging relies on multi-material composites to protect the product inside, which are usually non-recyclable –however, the AmPrima solution is a mono-material solution which retains these properties. 

“The Amcor AmPrima solution preserves barrier protection, physical durability, and visual appeal while enabling consumers to easily recycle packs – something that was typically not possible before,” said Piotr Nagalski, sales and marketing director for Snacks & Confectionery at Amcor. 

In similar news, [INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe](https://www.ineos.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io), [PepsiCo](https://www.pepsico.co.uk/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) and [Amcor](https://www.amcor.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) teamed up in March to launch [snack packaging](https://packagingeurope.com/news/supply-chain-partners-including-ineos-pepsico-and-amcor-collaborate-on-50-recycled-plastic-film-packaging/11089.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) for Sunbites crisps containing 50% recycled plastic. The new packaging was launched in the UK and Ireland for PepsiCo’s snack brand Sunbites in late 2023\. 

More recently, food company [Kellanova](https://www.kellanova.com/us/en/home.html%22%20/t%20%22%5Fblank?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) revealed that [Pringles](https://www.pringles.com/en-us/home.html?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) is launching its first [bagged snack](https://packagingeurope.com/news/pringles-announces-first-bagged-snack-in-over-15-years/11351.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in 15 years, Pringles Mingles. The puffed snacks mix two different Pringles flavours and are due to be rolled out in retailers nationwide in October.
