Amcor - Committed to Recycling

Amcor's commitment to recycling is reflected in its history. In the 1860s it became the first Australian company to recycle any commodity, and in the 1940s became the country's first kerb-side recycler, using a horse and cart.

It is estimated that Amcor has recycled in excess of 35 million tonnes of paper and cardboard in the past 120 years.

During the year ending June 2001, Amcor collected a record 790,000 tonnes of waste paper - an increase of 42,000 tonnes from the previous year.

Amcor's commitment to recycling extends to being a foundation member of the Buy Recycled Business Alliance (BRBA). BRBA's mission is to promote the purchase and use of recycled content products and materials through leadership by example, education and information, research and development and partnerships.
