Amcor Sustainability Actions

Sustainable packaging

We regularly produce packaging that is more functional, appealing, and cost-effective for our customers and their customers and more sustainable for the environment.

Recyclable packaging

Packaging that meets accepted design standards for recyclability, i.e. packaging with the right attributes for successful collection, sorting, and recycling in the real world.

Post-consumer recycled content

Materials that have served their purpose (have been used by the consumer) and have subsequently been recycled to produce a new product.

Compostable

Materials that biodegrade in a commercially managed or home composting system according to the relevant industry standards.

Bio-based materials

Materials derived from renewable sources such as corn, sugar cane, or trees.

Lower carbon footprint

Packaging which has a lower life cycle carbon footprint than alternatives, e.g. due to material selection, design, or improved recycling performance.

Responsibly sourced materials

Raw materials sourced from socially and environmentally responsible suppliers, as confirmed by certification schemes, such as ASI (Aluminium Stewardship Initiative) or FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council).

Reusable

Packaging that is refilled or used again for its original purpose.
