Amcor Launches Recycle-Ready AmFiber Paper Refill Pack

Amcor has announced the launch of its new AmFiber Performance Paper stand-up pouch, a paper-based refill pack for instant coffee and dry beverage products. This innovation – launching first across the Europe, Middle East and Africa region – is part of Amcor’s AmFiber Performance Paper portfolio and delivers recycle-ready paper packaging that has been designed specifically for dry beverages.

Preserving the aroma and taste of coffee products requires strong product protection. Amcor’s new AmFiber Performance Paper stand-up pouch provides excellent seal integrity and barrier that makes it an ideal solution for soluble coffee products. The new refill pack offers curb-side recyclability in several European countries, due to its 85% fiber content, and is certified for recyclability by CEPI and Aticelca.

For all-round sustainability benefits, the AmFiber refill pouch enables brands to reduce the carbon footprint of their dry beverage packaging by up to 73%, including reductions to non-renewable energy use (71%) and water consumption (41%).

The recycle-ready structure of Amcor’s AmFiber stand-up pouch enables brands to cut down on EPR fees, with potential savings of up to 70-90% compared to non-recycle-ready solutions, depending on the country.

“This newest addition to the AmFiber family offers coffee and dry beverage brands a more attractive packaging solution that has a natural, paper-based appeal and is recycle-ready,” said Giorgio Dini, marketing manager for coffee at Amcor.
