Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, and Fedrigoni, a global reference in the manufacturing of specialty papers for packaging, self-adhesive labels, graphic media, and RFID, partnered to develop a recycle-ready flexible packaging solution for wet wipe application.

Amcor and Fedrigoni partnered to develop recycle-ready flexible packaging for wet wipe.

The combination of Amcor’s AmPrima Plus flow wrap and Fedrigoni’s semi-rigid label has produced a wet wipe pack that is recycle-ready in its entirety, and can be recycled in polyethylene (PE) recycling streams across Europe.

The PE based flow wrap, combined with the PE based semi-rigid label, offers excellent functionality and wipe performance throughout the lifetime of the pack. The new wet wipe packaging solution has been certified as recyclable by RecyClass and Institut cyclos-HTP.

Additionally, Amcor’s AmPrima Plus flow wrap solution can incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, paving the way for greater PCR integration ahead of the 2030 PPWR mandate, which will require plastic packaging to contain a minimum percentage of recycled content.

The unique composition of the AmPrima Plus wet wipe pack, combined with a patented semi-rigid label from Fedrigoni, allows brands to cut the weight of their packaging by up to 15% when compared to traditional, multi-material packs with a rigid label.

The new pack has a lower carbon footprint by up to 55%, as calculated by Amcor’s ASSET life cycle assessment methodology, which is certified by The Carbon Trust.
