Applegate Organics® & Applegate Naturals® Hot Dogs in Amcor Packaging with 25% Recycled Content
Manufacturer: Amcor Flexibles; amcor.com
Description: Applegate Naturals® and Organics® hot dogs debut refrigerated food’s first forming/nonforming meat package with a minimum of 25% recycled content. The Amcor package is prequalified to bear the UL Environmental Claim Validation Mark. The format provides equal case appeal, protection, and processing performance to nonrecyclable forming/nonforming films. The Amcor package used over 75,000 pounds of recycled content in 2022, helping to conserve landfill space and contributing to meaningful carbon reduction. The solution empowers Applegate to reflect the brand’s “cleaner wieners” in a package that serves as a messenger of company values.
