AMB Spa, headquartered in north-east Italy, is one of the leading international suppliers of rigid and flexible films, uniquely offering an “all in one place” approach that includes all aspects of the packaging process: design, tooling, product specification, film production, print design and application. At interpack, the company will highlight a range of eco-friendly packaging solutions in line with its strong commitment to sustainability, with a view to circular economy and resource saving, which we present below.

Giles Peacock, CEO of AMB explains: «Our all-in-one place approach is matched by our end-to-end sustainability drive. AMB TrayRevive, AMB TotalMono PET and AMB Mono PE Flowpack are part of a wider AMB strategy that strives to improve sustainability by enhancing collaboration between packaging manufacturers, retailers, and recyclers.

Tray-to-tray recycling

AMB TrayRevive utilises post-consumer trays to create films to then produce form fill seal packs and new thermoformed trays. The post-consumer material is broken down into flakes which are then used to manufacture a tray-to-tray product. To maximise the quality of the final trays, the raw material undergoes a strict process of analysis - it is checked for contamination, and the quality of the flakes is evaluated. The material used in the AMB TrayRevive is food grade quality, enabling the company to rightfully claim that the product closes the loop of the circular economy. This combination of sustainability and excellence ensures that AMB customers can deliver environmentally friendly packaging solutions to retailers who are increasingly concerned about safeguarding the planet.

End-to-end sustainability

AMB’s 100% mono PET solutions for both top and bottom films provide key benefits in terms of performance as well as solving sustainability challenges within packaging production. AMB TotalMono PET has lower thicknesses compared to multilayer products, therefore needing less plastic in its production. It is extremely light weight which in turn leads to substantial energy savings - less space is needed for transport, resulting in less trucks on the road and less fuel consumption. AMB TotalMono PET provides high barrier protection for sensitive foods, leading to an extended shelf life and a reduction in food waste. It is fully printable and offers ease of top and bottom printing without changing graphics. Despite downgauging, the material offers robust tear resistance during processing. It is wrinkle-free with maximum transparency. The downgauging of thicknesses leads to a wide range of possible gauges and a significant reduction in weight without compromising performance.

High protection for sensitive products

AMB Mono PE Flowpack is an outstanding solution for meat, dairy and other sensitive food products that require high protection. It assures long-lasting food safety, extends shelf life, and prevents food waste. It offers manufacturers plastic savings of up to 70% compared to conventional tray or thermoformed packaging. As with all AMB’s solutions, Mono PE Flowpack optimises sustainability by using less plastic and requiring less energy across the manufacturing, storage, and logistic chain. With AMB’s expert knowledge on water-based technology Mono PE Flowpack, solutions are being addressed for the demanding markets with the most sustainable packaging available. In combination with AMB’s print design and printing services, the Mono PE Flowpack offers eye-catching optics on supermarket shelves.
