Amcor - Creating Recycled Products

Amcor logoRecycling of paper and cardboard does not make economic sense if there is no "end use" market for recycled products.

As the pioneer of domestic kerbside recycling services more than 60 years ago, Amcor has a real incentive to ensure that there are markets for recycled product. The company collects, sorts and recycles all grades of wastepaper, including office papers. Amcor recovers around 800,000 tonnes of wastepaper every year and recycles some of this wastepaper into Australian Recycled Cartonboard (ARC).

ARC logoRecycled cartonboard is produced and used to make cartons for packaging food and household items such as biscuits, breakfast cereals, frozen food, toothpaste, tissues, cosmetics, washing powder and pet food.

The ARC logo was designed by schoolchildren. It tells consumers that the manufacturer of the product is using packaging that is recycled, recyclable and made in Australia.

Amcor is encouraging Australian households to buy packaging containing the special ARC logo, therefore supporting an end use market for recycled product.
