Amcor provides ‘recycle-ready’ packaging for Lorenz Snacks

Amcor has collaborated with snack manufacturer Lorenz Snacks, to launch new recycle-ready packaging for its Lentil Coated Peanuts product.

Lorenz’s new Lentil Coated Peanuts pack is based on Amcor’s AmPrima portfolio of mono-material, recycle-ready packaging options.
Traditional nut packaging relies on multi-material composites to protect the product inside; however, these materials are usually non-recyclable.


Amcor said the new packs achieve a 51% reduction in carbon footprint, a 51% reduction in water consumption and a 41% reduction in non-renewable energy use.
The packs are certified for recyclability by cyclos-HTP in the countries where PE or PP recycling streams exist, and they align with CEFLEX design for a circular economy guidelines.

Piotr Nagalski, sales and marketing director for snacks & confectionery, Amcor, said: “The Amcor AmPrima solution solves one of the biggest problems in snack packaging. It preserves barrier protection, physical durability, and visual appeal while enabling consumers to easily recycle packs – something that was typically not possible before.”
