Amcor and Fedrigoni unveil breakthrough recycle-ready wet wipe packaging
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.
Amcor has partnered with Fedrigoni - a global reference in the manufacturing of specialty papers for packaging, self-adhesive labels, graphic media, and RFID - to develop a recycle-ready flexible packaging solution for wet wipe application.
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.
This collaboration marks a significant breakthrough for the home and personal care industry. It accelerates the sector’s transition to recycle-ready packaging in line with regulations such as the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which aims to reduce packaging waste and make all packaging on the European Union’s (EU) market recyclable by 2030.
The mono-material solution from Amcor and Fedrigoni unlocks advantages for brands, including potential savings in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees, reduced plastic usage, and a reduction in their packaging’s carbon footprint.
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.
