Commenting on the company’s advances on its EnviroAction programme, the report said that Amcor has sent around 33% less waste to disposal over the past three years.
In addition, 121 of Amcor’s production sites achieved zero waste-to-disposal last year.
These locations have water management plans in place, while each site that uses plastic pellets, granules or flakes has followed the Operation Clean Sweep methodology to avoid plastic pellet loss.
Amcor CEO Ron Delia said: “We’re continuing to show ambition and leadership to deliver better sustainability results for our people, our customers, our investors and the environment.
“I am particularly proud of our colleagues around the world who are dedicated to delivering on our sustainability ambitions.
