Amcor’s FY25 sustainability disclosure arrives at a pivotal moment — not only as its first report after absorbing Berry Global, but also as a quiet but significant inflexion point for aluminium’s role within one of the world’s largest packaging companies. Although plastics still dominate Amcor’s 2.9-million-tonne material footprint, the FY25 report reveals a slow but unmistakable recalibration in how the packaging brand sources, certifies and circularises aluminium across its global operations.

The newly combined entity ended the fiscal year with 15,000 tonnes of post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminium, representing 8 per cent of all aluminium used, as confirmed in the company’s FY25 sustainability report. While modest in absolute terms compared with Amcor’s polymer consumption, this aluminium PCR volume measures to reflect a year-on-year uplift, completing a five-year climb that saw total PCR materials rise from 56,000 tonnes in FY19 to 233,000 tonnes in FY25.

ASI-certified sourcing gains ground

Where aluminium decisively outperforms its peers in Amcor’s material mix is in governance. In FY25, 9.4 per cent of Amcor’s purchased aluminium was sourced from ASI-certified producers, embedding assurance across GHG emissions, water use, biodiversity protection and responsible mining standards.
