"This year marks a turning point for Amcor," said Amcor Chief Executive Officer Peter Konieczny. "With industry-leading innovation, global scale and deep packaging expertise, the new Amcor is uniquely positioned to deliver breakthrough solutions and advance a circular packaging future."

During the year, Amcor continued to bring new innovations to market that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency in line with its belief that all packaging can be circular. This includes an expanded AmFiber™ range of paper-based packaging products for consumer favorites like instant coffee pouches and trail mix bars, as well as new formats for its AmPrima®, AmLite™ and HeatFlex™ solutions that bring recycle-readiness to highly technical flexible packaging applications, and its AmSky™ recycle-ready blister pack for pharmaceuticals, among other platforms.

As part of Amcor's focus on promoting circularity across the packaging industry, the company achieved its global target of using 10% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic by 2025, which equates to 218,000 metric tons of recycled plastic. By the end of FY25, 72% of its packaging production by weight was designed for recyclability (96% of rigid packaging, 49% of flexible packaging, 100% of specialty cartons) and its R&D teams had developed recycle-ready options for 96% of its flexible packaging portfolio.*

Amcor Chief Sustainability Officer David Clark 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."
