ProAmpac's RP-2000 High Barrier Series is designed for flexibility across common package styles and is available in different pouch formats and rollstock.
Feb. 18, 2026 - ProAmpac announced the expansion of its ProActive Recyclable® RP-2000 High Barrier Series.
According to ProAmpac, this curbside recyclable, fiber-based packaging platform is designed to help brands transition away from traditional non-recyclable high-barrier multilayer structures, such as paper/foil, paper/metalized polyethylene terephthalate (METPET), and certain film laminations. The RP-2000 platform provides strong barriers to oxygen and moisture, making it well-suited for sensitive dry food products such as oatmeal, granola, cereal, spices, snacks, dried fruits, and nuts.
"Supporting the growing Fiberization of Packaging® movement, and as adoption of fiber-based structures accelerates, it is critical that ProAmpac continues to expand the functional performance envelope of paper-based materials," said Hesam Tabatabaei, chief technology officer at ProAmpac. "These technologies enable brands to transition to curbside recyclable packaging while maintaining required barrier properties, package integrity, and filling-line efficiency."
ProAmpac noted that the RP-2000 High Barrier Series is designed for flexibility across common package styles and is available in different pouch formats and rollstock, maintaining strong performance throughout the package's life. Its durable construction offers excellent flex-crack resistance and maintains its barrier properties during handling and folding. It also offers high-quality printing capabilities, enabling brands to create distinctive designs on natural kraft, bleached, or clay-coated paper.
Adam Edinger, global innovation engineer for ProAmpac, explained, "RP-2000 High Barrier platform was created to give brands a drop-in curbside recyclable solution with minimum adjustment on filling lines and has successfully trialed on a super high-speed HFFS line running up to 900 packs per minute. It delivers dependable performance in a fiber-based format that aligns with today's expectations."
