Amcor and French cheese producer Laïta have transitioned to a new polypropylene (PP) flexible film for Emmental cheese blocks. This shift replaces a non-recyclable multi-material plastic with a mono-material solution that fits into existing recycling streams. The new packaging reduces the carbon footprint by 63% and lowers plastic weight by 6%. The design includes an easy-reclose feature to meet consumer demand for convenience while lowering Extended Producer Responsibility fees for the manufacturer.
