One of the core pillars of APA’s mission is to share fact-based information about the use of polyamide in advanced packaging. This includes materials that journalists can use as references for their investigations and articles, providing well-documented insight based on rigorous research on layered packaging which contains polyamide, its recyclability, and the ways in which it can help reduce plastic waste.

Our Resources section contains numerous explainers, white papers and recent scientific studies, but if you’re a member of the press who is looking for specific information about the many benefits which polyamide brings to recyclable flexible packaging, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Raising awareness and increasing knowledge about the technical aspects of flexible packaging is an indispensable condition for effective legislation and regulation. The benefits offered by this type of film are important in terms of its recyclability and physical qualities, often extending the shelf life of many products. These characteristics, combined with the reduced thickness of this type of film, make it possible to reduce food waste and the overall quantity of plastic used.

APA offers a view to greater sustainability for the world of packaging, given the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) which is currently under review, creating new room for manoeuvre for legislators to protect the recycling chain and, more generally, to support a strategic scope for all production sectors. If you want to promote this important goal, contact us!

APA is a hub for facts and findings coming from the leading European actors in the world of advanced flexible packaging and is open to the world of public and private research to bring together know-how, experience and scientific documentation.

One of the goals of the association is to create a network of researchers, engineers, and experts who can analyse and develop technologies, processes and methods to demonstrate the overall sustainability benefits of polyamide in flexible packaging and films. Contact us to share your knowledge and access the insight of other researchers and engineers.

The active participation of members of the public who care about the environment is key to the success of any initiative aimed at protecting the planet. It is of fundamental importance that consumers, as citizens, understand how the use of advanced flexible packaging which contains polyamide can help reduce the environmental impact of the industry, which is currently committed to this goal.

For this very reason, it is essential that citizens who seek a greener future can freely access information about advanced flexible packaging, and evaluate the idea of promoting the conversation presented by APA. By joining us, you can become an active participant by sharing the content and documents found on this website, so as to influence the choices made by food brands and other entities along the packaging chain, and also politicians and the media. Stay informed, support our association as a consumer, and gain access to articles, data and interviews. Stay in touch by following us on LinkedIn.

The goals of every association are always linked to a broader vision, achieved through a series of actions that lead to the realisation of concrete achievements. At times, the vision of one association might overlap that of another, offering both of them the chance to take concrete steps regarding shared interests and concerns, in order to achieve specific objectives.

APA aims to offer other associations directly and indirectly connected to the world of packaging (flexible packaging in particular) the chance to create common ground, evaluating which objectives might be best pursued through joint actions regarding members, policies, information, entities in different manufacturing sectors, consumer associations and other associations linked to environmental themes. Contact APA to start collaborating.

If you’re an educator, content creator, blogger or influencer, you know very well that being properly informed is at the very core of your work. APA therefore invites you to take part in the dialogue happening between our members, so that you have the chance to learn more about the world of advanced flexible packaging that contains polyamide and the benefits this unique type of film offers to the world of packaging.

On this website and on APA’s social media pages, you’ll find fact-based information and articles that cover relevant topics, from the advantages of advanced flexible packaging to the technology that’s used to process it. Moreover, you can research the broad topic of packaging and its environmental impact, discovering how advanced flexible packaging which contains polyamide is an important factor in reducing our ecological footprint.
