ProAmpac Joins Association of Plastic Recyclers

ProAmpac today announced it has joined The Association of Plastic Recyclers.

The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) is a trade association representing companies responsible for more than 90 percent of the post-consumer plastic processing capacity in North America. APR works to set standards and enhance the quality and quantity of recycled materials through technology, testing, design, and training. Through education and collaboration with APR and its members, ProAmpac is continuing to progress its ProActive Sustainability platform towards a more circular economy.

“This step furthers our ProActive Sustainability® initiative, a companywide commitment to developing and innovating sustainable flexible packaging products, as well as promoting sustainability in our manufacturing sites and the communities where we operate,” said Adam Grose, chief commercial officer.

“ProAmpac has become an increasingly sought-after resource for recyclable, post-consumer recycled, renewable, and compostable products. It was time for us to not only use APR standards, but also to actively participate in the organization that helps set them,” said Grose. “Being part of APR places us in an even stronger position to help our customers meet their sustainability goals.”
