APCO maps reform through Covenant - PKN Packaging News

APCO (Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation) has released its “Covenant 2025”, outlining reforms aimed at improving packaging sustainability in Australia. This strategic roadmap focuses on increasing the use of recycled materials, reducing problematic plastics, and enhancing the recyclability of packaging. Key objectives include reducing the amount of virgin plastic used, phasing out specific hazardous chemicals, and setting targets for increased recycled content in packaging. The reforms are designed to drive systemic change across the packaging value chain, from manufacturers to consumers, with a significant emphasis on collaboration and innovation. This initiative will influence the demand for packaging machinery that can handle new material types and processing requirements, potentially impacting investment decisions for companies operating or supplying to the Australian market.
