Amcor Chile - Copperprotek
Amcor Flexibles Chile created an unique and high quality packaging solution with LifeSpan™ Copper Based Film. It is an innovative and disruptive packaging solution for cheese or fresh or processed meat such as ham, bacon, fresh chicken, etc… thanks to its specific addition of copper particles in the manufacturing process of the packaging solution. LifeSpan™ Copper Based Film, a laminate, contains copper microparticles that inhibit the development od microorganisms inside the packaging, allowing to increase the shelf life of product packed up to 250%. The material was recently created through a collaboration between our Amcor Flexibles Chile and biomaterial technology company CopperProtek. The partnership aimed to discover whether antimicrobial qualities could be transferred to plastic packaging by adding copper microparticles to the plastic resin in the film production, extended the shelf-life of fresh food products.
