Recycle ready solutions with no compromise on performance
AmPrima® is a portfolio of more sustainable packaging solutions, designed to be recycled, if clean and dry, through existing store drop-offs or curbside where available. AmPrima® solutions offer customers a more sustainable choice for their brands and products with no compromise on performance.
Currently available in a range of PE formats, AmPrima® solutions employ a variety of technologies including proprietary techniques unavailable elsewhere. This delivers the stiffness, clarity, graphics performance and run speeds that customers demand, matching the performance of current unrecyclable alternatives.
AmPrima® solutions are available in:
Environmental benefits
AmPrima® is designed to be a more sustainable choice today, and is future-ready for more environmental benefits to come.

Assuming 100% recycling, AmPrima® delivers:
in non-renewable energy use
in carbon footprint
in water consumption

For every one million square meters of OPP displaced by AmPrima® Plus recycle ready films that equates to:
light bulbs for 1 year
the road for a year
10 minute showers
These figures assume 100% recycling of the AmPrima® Plus film, but some of these savings, such as around half of the carbon footprint figure, come from the production of AmPrima® itself.
This means that AmPrima® is a more sustainable choice for all applications even before reaching end-of-life. This is good news particularly for those end markets for whom the clean and dry requirement is difficult to achieve. And of course switching to AmPrima® today means you are future-ready for more environmental benefits tomorrow as the recycling industry develops.
