Cincinnati, Ohio-based ProAmpac has introduced ProActive Recyclable R-2000S, a recyclable packaging option that withstands the demands of a microwave heating environment, according to a news release.

The product is a patent-pending polyethylene-based film designed to run on high-speed form/fill/seal equipment and is pre-qualified for store drop-off recycling, the release said.

“ProActive Recyclable R-2000S is the latest iteration of ProAmpac’s hallmark high-performance, recyclable film series, filling the market gap in microwavable recyclable packaging for non-fat vegetables,” Adam Grose, chief commercial officer for ProAmpac, said in the release.

R-2000S is designed to excel in all performance requirements; particularly, its optimal stiffness and excellent dimpling resistance provide an enhanced shelf presence, Hesam Tabatabaei, vice president of global product development and innovation for ProAmpac, said in the release.
