ng film that reduces packaging weight? How to help customers reduce costs throughout the supply chain? How to lead the way to recycling of the total pack – lidding and tray? Amcor's dedicated development specialists embraced this challenge and the result, is Amcor N-Gage – a breakthrough innovation offering tangible benefits:• Total pack weight reduction of at least 10%
• Mono-material pack that leads the way to total pack recycling*
• Significant saving opportunities in productivity, logistics and Green Dot fees.
Amcor N-Gage is a proprietary range of high barrier, peelable lidding films which seal directly onto APET trays. Lighter than the current films, N-Gage offers equivalent high performance and tangible cost savings for manufacturers in change-over time, waste, transport and Green Dot charges.
Thanks to Amcor N-Gage, the mono-APET tray and lid can be fully recycled once the recycling stream is in place. A recent study published by Eco-Emballages and Adelphe reports on key projects with leading food manufacturers designed to improve the recyclability of plastic based packaging**. It concludes that the optimum packaging solution for trays & lids for sliced cured meat would be the development of a mono-material PET tray and a compatible lidding film which can be sealed to the tray.
Amcor N-Gage will be featured on Amcor’s stand at the Interpack Innovation Parc, Hall FG-South/IPP15 from 7 - 14 May 2014.
