ProAmpac has joined forces with Western Michigan University (WMU) to accelerate the development of fiber-based packaging solutions designed for sustainability. This partnership will enhance ProAmpac’s efforts to deliver recyclable and compostable alternatives to traditional packaging materials, a key part of its broader sustainability strategy.
With WMU’s established expertise in fiber technologies and recycling, the collaboration will fast-track the creation of fiber-based packaging options that align with growing environmental regulations, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The partnership also supports ProAmpac’s commitment to driving innovation in material science and packaging sustainability.
This collaboration is an extension of ProAmpac’s ongoing efforts to integrate cutting-edge academic research into its global operations. By combining ProAmpac’s material science leadership with WMU’s advanced fiber research, the partnership aims to create scalable, science-driven packaging solutions that meet the increasing demand for sustainable options.
