Commitment to Sustainability
For four generations, Lorenz has crafted beloved snacks globally. Their collaboration with Amcor has supported their journey to more sustainable packaging solutions across their portfolio. With 92% of their primary packaging already rated “good” for recyclability, Lorenz aims to convert their remaining packaging to "highly recyclable" by 2025.(1) The introduction of Amcor's AmPrima™ recycle-ready packaging for their Lentil Coated Peanuts marks a significant step toward these sustainability goals.
Innovative Snack Packaging Solution
Traditional nuts packaging relies on multi-material composites that offer essential properties such as barrier protection, physical durability, and visual appeal but are difficult to recycle. The challenge was to develop a mono-material solution that could match these properties while being recycle-ready.
AmPrima™ packaging achieves this by ensuring barrier protection, durability, and visual appeal while being recycle-ready. For products like Lorenz Lentil Coated Peanuts, the packaging plays a crucial role in product protection, shelf life, and consumer appeal. Key aspects such as moisture barrier, air-tight sealing, and resistance to physical damage are essential for maintaining the quality of the snack.
The AmPrima™ packaging solution aligns with environmental guidelines, such as those set by CEFLEX for circularity.(2) The packs are certified for recyclability in the countries where PE or PP recycling streams exist.
The successful implementation of Amcor’s AmPrima™ packaging for Lorenz Lentil Coated Peanuts is a testament to the feasibility of more sustainable packaging solutions in the snack industry.
