Cincinnati-based flexible packaging and material science company ProAmpac received the 2023 Product Innovation Front of House Award from the Foodservice Packaging Association for its RecycAll product line supplied to Pret A Manger, according to a news release.

The award was presented at the FPA’s annual awards gala in Brighton, England, on March 9, 2023.

“RecycAll began with a sandwich wedge and has expanded to include HandRaps and salad trays to support our customers’ sustainability goals. Being recognized by FPA for this award underscores our commitment to food to-go packaging innovation and sustainability,” Graham Williams, senior vice president for ProAmpac, said in the release.

ProAmpac’s RAP Packaging RecycAll product line has an all-fiber structure with a translucent paper lining and window. The RecycAll line provides the translucent visibility and moisture barrier benefits of the company’s conventional fiber and film-lined packaging formats, but with a plastic-free structure, according to the release.

“Now customers can package various fresh food options in fully recyclable packaging that elevates branding with the same look and feel whether it’s a HandRap, tray or sandwich wedge,” Williams said in the release.
