[**ProAmpac**](https://www.proampac.com/en-us/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io)**’s new high-barrier packaging platform is set to help dry food brands transition from multilayer structures to recyclable, fibre-based alternatives.**

The ProActive Recyclable RP-2000 High Barrier Series comprises kerbside recyclable, fibre-based packaging with ‘strong’ oxygen and moisture barriers. It is intended to replace traditional, non-recyclable barrier structures like paper/foil, paper/metallized PET (METPET), and certain film laminations.

The lineup is available in different pouch formats and rollstock. It is designed for flexibility across common packaging styles, flex-crack resistance through durable construction, and consistent barrier properties through handling and folding.

Additionally, the materials aim for high-quality printing capabilities on natural kraft, bleached paper, and clay-coated paper.

ProAmpac recommends the ProActive Recyclable RP-2000 High Barrier Series for sensitive dry food products like snacks, dry fruits, nuts, granola, oatmeal, cereal, and spices.

“RP-2000 High Barrier platform was created to give brands a drop-in kerbside recyclable solution with minimum adjustment on filling lines and has successfully trialled 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 fibre-based format that aligns with today’s expectations.”

Hesam Tabatabaei, chief technology officer at ProAmpac, adds: “Supporting the growing Fiberization of Packaging movement, and as adoption of fibre-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 kerbside recyclable packaging while maintaining required barrier properties, package integrity, and filling-line efficiency.

Last year, ProAmpac revealed another platform: its polyolefin-based [ProActive Recycle-Ready](https://packagingeurope.com/news/proampac-launches-polyolefin-based-platform-for-chunk-cheese-applications/13269.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) lineup, intended for for high-speed chunk cheese applications. The platform is said to offer ‘exceptional’ performance without compromising shelf life.

In similar news, [Gualapack Ukraine](https://gualapackua.com/en/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) has introduced [flat-bottom and side gusset pouch formats](https://packagingeurope.com/news/gualapack-ukraine-introduces-flat-bottom-and-side-gusset-pouches/13872.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) to its portfolio. The packaging has been developed to maintain an optimal shape and stand upright, regardless of its content level.
