Amcor Flexibles North America sustainability director Fabio Peyer said: “AmPrima products can deliver as much as a 60% reduction in non-renewable energy use over equivalent non-recyclable options.

“It also offers as much as a 46% reduction in carbon footprint and an 18% reduction in water consumption.”

The APR acknowledgement follows the release of a pilot test report by the Materials Recovery for the Future (MRFF) consortium in June.

Earlier this month, APR revealed that its post-consumer resin (PCR) Certification Program launched in late March received positive reaction in the marketplace.
