ZURICH, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Amcor (NYSE: AMCR, ASX: AMC), a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, announced today that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SK Geo Centric (SK), a leading petrochemical company based in South Korea, to source advanced recycled material primarily in the Asia Pacific region beginning in 2025. The MOU with SK will enable Amcor to provide access to packaging solutions using recycled content for food and healthcare customers in key markets in Asia Pacific, as well as globally, building on Amcor's existing global access to advanced recycled material through ExxonMobil, as well as its recent investment with Licella in Australia. Combined, these partnerships will help Amcor take another important step toward achieving its target of 30% recycled content across its portfolio by 2030. "Our ability to deliver more sustainable packaging solutions containing recycled material is increasingly important to customers in all consumer categories," said Mike Cash, president of Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific. "These partnerships will help enable Amcor to unlock opportunities for food and healthcare customers to leverage recycled content in their packaging, and will also foster a circular economy by significantly reducing the need for virgin plastic." SK Geo Centric CEO Na Kyung-soo said, "We are committed to contributing to a circular economy by expanding the supply chain where pyrolysis oil, produced from end-of-life plastic, can provide recycled content in consumer packaging. Providing Amcor with access to that material is an important step forward." SK extracts pyrolysis oil from end-of-life plastic waste that would otherwise be sent to landfill. SK is using post-processing technology the company developed. This can then replace crude oil as a feedstock for petrochemical processes and subsequently polyethylene to make new sustainable packaging materials for our customers.

ZURICH, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Amcor (NYSE: AMCR, ASX: AMC), a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, has been recognized for its AmSky™ and AmPrima™ more sustainable packaging solutions, earning a place on Walmart's 'Circular Connector' platform. Circular Connector, established by retail giant Walmart, is a platform that makes it easier for sourcing teams and brands to quickly find more sustainable packaging solutions for the products they put on Walmart shelves. Being able to easily source more sustainable packaging solutions will enable the brands, and Walmart, to achieve their sustainability goals while driving a circular packaging economy. Endorsed by Walmart's sustainability leadership team in collaboration with the U.S. Plastics Pact, Amcor's recycle-ready AmSky and AmPrima packaging solutions are now available to all Walmart suppliers and the public via the Circular Connector. AmSky offers a world's-first, recycle-ready blister pack for pharmaceuticals. Disrupting the decades-long, over-the-counter standard drug pack, AmSky is polyvinyl chloride- (PVC) and aluminum-free – a more responsible choice for the most in-demand healthcare packaging type. Its carbon footprint is up to 70% less (compared to PVC/Alu solutions). Based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it is designed for recycling in rigid and flexible recycling streams. AmPrima is a portfolio of recycle-ready packaging solutions with a low carbon footprint, applicable in different packaging formats from bags to packs and pouches, for both solid and liquid content. It provides options for brands who need packaging that still offers the barrier, material stiffness, seal strength, graphics performance and the fast run speeds of traditional unrecyclable packaging. AmPrima, when recycled, delivers as much as a 60% reduction in non-renewable energy use over equivalent non-recyclable options, offers as much as a 46% reduction in carbon footprint and an 18% reduction in water consumption. It is designed to be recycled if clean and dry, through existing store drop-offs or curbside, where available. AmSky and AmPrima were both designed with a circular economy in mind, by combining core design requirements with end-of-life packaging considerations and innovation. Suppliers of Walmart's private-label products, particularly in the categories of food, consumables, health and wellness, can be assured that packaging products in the Circular Connector meet the strictest sustainability and innovation standards. Amcor's customers can also be confident in viable, commercially available packaging options that are supported by Walmart should they wish to pursue the retailer. Roawin Luo, Director of Global Product Management at Amcor, expressed her enthusiasm about AmSky and AmPrima becoming part of the Circular Connector, "The inclusion of AmSky and AmPrima not only puts more sustainable packaging options within reach of suppliers and brands aiming for positive change, but also streamlines the process of adopting alternative choices. Our readily available solutions help guide brands looking to embrace sustainability, while also fostering a community of stakeholders along the circular value chain journey." Cheryl Lam, Private Brands Director for Sustainable Initiatives at Walmart said, "We leverage Walmart's Circular Connector to help our suppliers connect with solutions they are looking for. And, Amcor was an early participant with approved solutions like AmPrima and Amsky." She added, "As a judge for the U.S. Plastic Pact first Sustainable Packaging Innovation Award, I was excited to see the AmSky blister package from Amcor included in Walmart's Circular Connector. I'm looking forward to seeing AmSky blisters and AmPrima bags and pouches at my local Walmart in the near future." AmSky and AmPrima are the latest Amcor innovations to have been included in the platform, with more to follow as the company progresses along its innovation and sustainability journey.
