Packamama has been awarded the Recycled Content Award at the 2024 Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) Annual Awards, held on 21 November in Sydney. The award recognises the company’s use of 100 per cent Australian recycled PET in its eco-flat wine bottles.
The APCO Annual Awards highlight achievements in sustainable packaging, celebrating companies that are advancing the industry’s progress towards the 2025 National Packaging Targets. Packamama’s eco-flat wine bottles are made entirely from recycled PET sourced from Visy’s Smithfield recycling facility in New South Wales.
Packamama’s Sales & Sustainability manager, Alex Adda, commented on the win, “Receiving the Recycled Content Award from APCO is a testament to our team's unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation. We are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of packaging design to create solutions that are not only functional but also environmentally responsible. This recognition motivates us to continue leading the charge towards a more sustainable future for the packaging industry.”
The Recycled Content Award category featured finalists including Amcor, Diageo, and Henkel, with Packamama’s recognition highlighting its role in advancing the use of recycled materials in packaging.
APCO CEO Chris Foley also acknowledged the winners, noting, “It is empowering to see organisations across the industry laying the foundations for a stronger packaging system beyond 2025 and making tangible progress toward implementing a circular economy for packaging.”
Packamama says it will continue to focus on low-emission, sustainable packaging solutions that align with global sustainability goals, looking forward to further advancing innovation in the packaging industry.
