The company reported that, by the end of the fiscal year 2025 (FY25), 72% of its packaging production by weight was designed for recyclability: 96% of rigid packaging, 49% of flexible packaging and 100% of speciality cartons.
Amcor’s research and development teams have developed recycle‑ready options for 96% of its flexible packaging portfolio.
It recorded further movements against its sustainability metrics.
Since 2021, the company reports a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations, which it attributes to a decarbonisation roadmap and keeps it on course for near‑term and net‑zero science‑based targets.
In FY25, the company doubled its use of renewable electricity, which now represents 30% of total energy consumption.
75% of its operational waste was recycled during the year and site‑level projects helped reduce water use.
Amcor chief sustainability officer David Clark stated: “Our progress demonstrates we can deliver on our ambitions through innovation, collaboration and advocacy across the value chain.”
The report highlights product and portfolio developments aimed at advancing circularity.
Amcor expanded its AmFiber paper‑based packaging range for items such as instant coffee pouches and trail mix bars, and introduced new formats for AmPrima, AmLite and HeatFlex solutions described as bringing recycle‑readiness to technically demanding flexible packaging applications.
The company also cited the launch of an AmSky recycle‑ready blister pack for pharmaceuticals.
In October 2025, Amcor launched AmSecure – a proprietary amorphous polyethylene terephthalate material developed for thermoformed trays and rollstock used in medical and pharmaceutical applications.
