Amcor, a leading manufacturer of responsible packaging solutions, has secured eight awards at this year’s Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) annual meeting.
The awards recognise Amcor’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in the packaging industry.
This year’s FPA Achievement Awards saw a record-breaking 333 entries, with only 22 receiving recognition. Amcor’s eight winning entries impressed the judges with their range of applications and focus on sustainability.
Sustainability takes centre stage
Amcor’s McCoy Dunnage Free IBC Liners for bulk aseptic products stood out, winning three awards – Gold for Sustainability, Silver for Expanding the Use of Flexible Packaging, and Silver for Technical Innovation.
The company said this 330-gallon bulk liner offers a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative for aseptic packaging.
The liner’s design reduces waste by eliminating the need for secondary packaging materials such as foam and cardboard. Additionally, its lightweight construction translates to a smaller carbon footprint throughout its life cycle.
