Amcor's premium Matrix paper-based and paraffin-free
packaging for soft cheese receives a Silver award at the 2020
Packaging Innovation Awards sponsored by Dow.
ZURICH, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Amcor (NYSE: AMCR)
(ASX: AMC), a global leader in packaging, has been awarded with a
Silver prize at the 2020 Packaging Innovation Awards, sponsored by
Dow. The company has been recognised for its Matrix range, the
industry's first paper-based, paraffin-free and recyclable
packaging for soft cheese. This innovation of providing the
right breathable barrier for soft cheese while removing paraffin
has transformed a non-recyclable packaging material into a cheese
wrap that can be recycled in the paper stream.
Michael Zacka, President Amcor
Flexibles EMEA, said, "Matrix's breakthrough paraffin-free
technology brings soft cheese packaging into the circular economy
and we are pleased it has been recognised with a prestigious Dow
award. Matrix is another move in the right direction for
sustainability combined with performance – offering cheese
manufacturers improved flavour control and recyclability."
"The quality of innovations we saw in the 2020 Packaging
Innovation Awards is remarkable," said Diego Donoso, business president for Dow
Packaging & Specialty Plastics. "I'm
inspired that the packaging industry continues to move
sustainability and innovation forward even during complicated
times. All winners should be proud of their accomplishment."
The Packaging Innovation Awards sponsored by Dow honour the
industry's top achievements in packaging design, materials,
technology, and processes. In 2019, the competition awarded Amcor
for its paper-based packaging for processed meat and cheese, PET
bottle for Nestlé's Coffeemate®, a Cooler Bag for Molson Coors beer, and a pet treat pouch for
Full Moon Pet.
