Amcor has released its FY25 Sustainability Report, outlining progress in advancing circular packaging and reducing environmental impacts.
During FY25, the company reached its global target of using 10 per cent post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. By 30 June 2025, 96 per cent of its flexible packaging by area had recycle-ready options, while 96 per cent of its rigid packaging by weight was recyclable. Its AmFiber paper-based range expanded to include new categories such as stand-up pouch refill packs for instant coffee and packaging for trail mix bars. New formats were also launched across the AmPrima, AmLite HeatFlex and AmSky platforms, including a shrink bag for turkey breasts that reduces material use and lowers the carbon footprint by 22 per cent.
Peter Konieczny, chief executive officer, said, “At Amcor, we believe that all packaging can be circular. That packaging waste can be eliminated. That efficient packaging can mitigate global warming. And we work every day to make that happen. Fiscal year 2025 marks an inflection point on our journey, as the combination with Berry has opened the door to bold new possibilities. Those enhanced capabilities will help Amcor both grow and advance a circular packaging future.”
The report also details Amcor’s partnerships and advocacy work. The company collaborates with the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and Delterra, supporting local waste separation initiatives for more than 2,400 residents and businesses in Bali. In Europe, Amcor contributed to industry consultations on the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and continues to guide customers on compliance.
Other sustainability measures include reducing greenhouse gas emissions from operations by 20 per cent over the past four years, increasing renewable electricity to 30 per cent of total consumption, and recycling 75 per cent of operational waste. Energy efficiency improvements were made across more than 400 manufacturing sites as part of Amcor’s Decarbonization Roadmap, supporting the company’s net-zero by 2050 ambitions.
David Clark, chief sustainability officer, said, “Amcor’s ambitious goals and focused strategy are driven by our commitment to leadership in sustainability. Our progress demonstrates we can deliver on our ambitions through innovation, collaboration and advocacy across the value chain.”
