Amcor
Recycled Content
Significantly increase Amcor’s use of recycled materials in our packaging.
Responsible Fiber Sourcing
We seek out paper and fiber-based materials with [FSC] certification.
Material Efficiency
We prioritize product protection while efficiently using materials to achieve the lowest environmental footprint.
Improving Recovery Infrastructure
Amcor is a core partner in the New Plastics Economy initiative. We partner with global organizations like Ocean Conservancy and the Earthwatch Institute to increase the collection and recycling of plastic packaging after use and to reduce plastics in the environment. We also participate in regional initiatives to increase the collection and recycling of packaging, including The Recycling Partnership, Materials Recovery for the Future, CEFLEX, REDcycle, and the Chilean Plastics Pact. We anticipate our involvement in local programs will increase as additional projects commence.
Design For Recovery
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Greenhouse gas emissions 6% reduction target in tonnes CO2e/ production units from FY17 to FY19. Our long term goal is 60% by 2030
Manufacturing / Operational Waste
Waste-to-Disposal 10% reduction target in tonnes from FY17 to FY19. Our long term goal is zero waste-to-disposal.
Water Consumption
100% of sites have water management plans in place. Our long term goal is to continue to improve efficiency of water use.
Energy Consumption
As we continue toward our 2030 emissions goals, Amcor facilities around the world use our EnviroAction toolkit to identify best practices that will help them reduce energy consumption, and in turn, emissions.
