Recycled-Content Packaging Solution
The full breadth of recycled content packaging solutions, available now.
Achieving Your Sustainability Goals
The drive for sustainable packaging has never been more urgent and the demand for improvement is growing. High expectations from retailers and consumers means brands face increasing pressure to make voluntary commitments.
The availability of food-grade recycled content for packaging films has been a significant barrier to brand owners fulfilling their increasingly ambitious sustainability commitments. Until now.
Close The Loop with Advanced Recycled Materials
Mechanical recycling only accepts mono materials for recycling, limiting the volume and quality of feedstock available to brand owners and preventing them from increasing the use of recycled content in their food packaging. But with Advanced Recycled Materials (ARM) you can close the circular economy loop by creating demand for recycled materials.
Closing The Loop With 2 Complementary & Important Processes
Recycled-content packaging solutions deliver the full breadth of mechanical and advanced recycled material options to fit your needs.
Mechanical PCR
Uses less energy but used only for non-contact sensitive packaging
Chemical ARM
Can be used for contact-sensitive packaging but uses more energy
Advanced Recycling: A Game-Changer for the Circular Economy
The process of Advanced Recycling enables large quantities of post-consumer, mixed polyolefin waste to be recycled and returned to a virgin-quality state so it can be reused again and again.
This innovative solution opens the aperture of what consumer waste can be repurposed, at scale, to make new products for even the most demanding food-grade applications.
Choosing post-consumer recycled content will help to close the circular economy loop by creating demand for recycled materials.
The Benefits of Advanced Recycled Materials (ARM)
Safe
The best recycled solution for food packaging and other sensitive applications.
Virgin quality
Same properties as virgin resin and no degradation in end packaging.
Drop-in
Drop-in solutions that require limited or no qualification work.
Certified
Recognized credit system supporting recycled content claims.
Circular
Reduces dependency on fossil resources, driving a circular economy.
Demand for ARM Still Far Outstrips Supply
Today, less than 80,000 tons are being produced.
By 2050 the demand for ARM is expected to be over 100 million tons.
Amcor has secured guaranteed and growing volumes of PCR resin from landmark supplier agreements. This security of supply will make a significant difference to customers, enabling them to achieve their sustainability pledges.
