The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) has refreshed its Board with Alan Adams replacing Tim Welsh as a skills-based director, and Jasmine Medwell replacing Fiona Baxter as a brand owner representative.
Baxter brought extensive expertise in corporate sustainability, retail, manufacturing and government sectors, influencing APCO’s strategies significantly since 2021, while Welsh’s expertise in stewardship and plastic packaging supported the development and refinement of APCO strategies in these areas over the same period.
“APCO is immensely grateful for the impactful contributions of Fiona and Tim, whose expertise has been instrumental in shaping our strategy,” said Sam Andersen, Board chair at APCO.
“We extend our warmest appreciation for their dedication and welcome new directors Alan and Jasmine, whose wealth of experience aligns seamlessly with our commitment to driving positive change within the packaging industry.”
Adams has been appointed as industry association Board director, and brings over 30 years of industry experience to APCO’s Board, previously contributing to sustainability strategies across the Asia-Pacific region with SEE (formerly Sealed Air).
While Medwell, appointed as brand owner Board director, holds over two decades of expertise in circularity and sustainability transformations within multinational FMCG and retail corporations, with her leadership at Woolworths Group aligning seamless with APCO’s objectives.
APCO looks forward to leveraging Adams and Medwell’s expertise, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and responsible packaging practices.
