The APET formulation delivers comparable performance to polyethylene terephthalate\u202fglycol (PETG) while maintaining clarity, durability and compatibility with standard sterilisation methods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AmSecure is less expensive than other materials while offering comparable performance and improved supply chain efficiencies. <\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The product was designed to accept numerous raw material supply options with multiple qualified raw materials, providing supply chain continuity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AmSecure is certified to meet or exceed the voluntary requirements for Design for Recyclability Recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The launch follows an expansion of thermoforming capacity at Amcor\u2019s Oshkosh, Wisconsin, facility, which delivers scaleable production to meet growing market demand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

AmSecure will be supported by a range of compatible lids and pouches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Art Castro, vice-president of Amcor flexibles healthcare in North America, stated: \u201cAmSecure represents a significant advancement in healthcare packaging by delivering APET-based thermoformed solutions that match the mechanical and visual performance of PETG, while offering cost efficiency and a path towards recyclability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Amcor solution meets the critical needs of customers without compromising production and line performance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amcor recently appointed Stephen Scherger as its executive vice-president and chief financial officer<\/a> (CFO), with effect from 10 November 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scherger will take over from Michael Casamento, who is stepping down after ten years as CFO to move back to Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In September, Greenback Recycling Technologies initiated the first UK deployment of its Enval advanced recycling module at the Amcor packaging facility in Heanor<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
