Amcor (NYSE: AMCR) has partnered with French manufacturer Cofigeo to develop an innovative three-compartment ready meal tray for the William Saurin Mon Trio Gourmand range. The sustainable packaging solution features a lightweight mono-material polypropylene construction that aligns with Design for Recycling guidelines and is recyclable in France's infrastructure.

The specialized tray incorporates different-sized compartments for separate ingredients, maintains a 12-month ambient shelf-life, and is manufactured with near-infrared terracotta masterbatch for recycling facility detection. Consumer testing showed strong positive feedback, with up to 80% of consumers indicating they would eat directly from the tray.

Amcor (NYSE: AMCR) has achieved a significant sustainability milestone by reducing plastic usage in flexible tubes for skincare brand Bulldog by 16.67%. The reduction in wall thickness for 50mm diameter tubes will save approximately 8.5 metric tonnes of plastic annually. The improved design maintains product quality and consumer experience while increasing post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic content to over 62%. The tubes, used for 100ml and 150ml Bulldog products, continue to utilize certified sugarcane-derived plastic, which has been part of their sustainability initiative since 2017. The modification resulted from collaboration between Amcor and Bulldog, involving rigorous trials to ensure squeezability and quality standards were maintained without impacting the filling process.

Amcor (NYSE: AMCR) has successfully demonstrated that its AmFiber™ Performance Paper is recyclable in Brazil's mixed-paper recycling streams. The company partnered with MAPA S.A. consultants and local recyclers to conduct comprehensive testing of the packaging material. The study included laboratory and machine tests, evaluating material behavior during sorting, pulping, and processing stages. Brazil currently maintains a 66.9% paper recycling rate according to IBÁ. Alto Vale Celulose's testing confirmed the material's successful recycling capabilities without issues during desegregation. This development aligns with Amcor's commitment to enabling a circular economy and reducing packaging's environmental impact.

Amcor (NYSE: AMCR) unveiled its 2025 Bottles of the Year collection, showcasing five innovative packaging designs across beverage, spirits & wine, food & dairy, home & personal care, and healthcare segments.

Notable innovations include a healthcare bottle with nostalgic apothecary design, a home/beauty bottle featuring refillable pods, and a spirits bottle designed for RTD beverages. The designs emphasize sustainability, incorporating PCR standards and recyclability, while addressing consumer preferences for functionality and aesthetic appeal. These concepts were developed through collaboration between Amcor's marketing, industrial design (ScorCreative studio), and product development teams.
