Amcor Honored for Sustainability in 2025 FPA Achievement Awards

Amcor is the recipient of two Silver Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards in the category of Sustainability.
The awards were presented during the Achievement Awards Breakfast, held in conjunction with the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) 2025 Annual Meeting, in Aventura, Florida.

“We are honored to be recognized by the FPA for innovations that are making a difference for our customers and the environment,” said Brian Carvill, VP of research and development at Amcor Flexibles North America. “Amcor’s winning packaging and equipment demonstrate how we apply our capabilities in material science and packaging technology to unlock growth for our customers and deliver more sustainable solutions.”

The FPA Achievement Awards have showcased packaging industry innovation since 1956. This year, there were 226 entries, with 20 ultimately honored, including:

• Amcor Moda Vacuum Packaging for U.S. Beef Exports
The Amcor Moda vacuum packaging solution is a streamlined tubular rollstock and on-demand bag-making system for fresh meat processors. Used for U.S. beef exports, the solution reduces material costs up to 30%, lowers packaging inventory requirements, and reduces packaging SKUs by printing on the tubing as it runs.
When switching to the Amcor Moda solution, producers significantly reduce the use of corrugated shrink bag boxes. Instead of being packed in boxes, rolls of Amcor tubestock are shipped on pallets. A pallet of tubestock can produce 40% more bags than a typical pallet of traditional shrink bags, reducing the transportation and inventory space requirements by 40%. The tubestock also accommodates many sizes and cuts of bone-in and boneless meat, reducing packaging SKUs. The package dimensions and graphics can be changed with the touch of a button.

• Once Upon a Farm CHEERCircle PE Recycle-Ready Spouted Pouch Using AmPrima Plus Film and the Vizi Cap
Once Upon a Farm – a leading childhood nutrition brand – produces refrigerated, cold-pressed blends and smoothies that offer farm-fresh nutrition from baby’s first bites to on-the-go snacking. Made with organic, non-GMO fruits and veggies with no added sugar, these products are offered in CHEERCircle PE recycle-ready spouted pouches. The pre-made spouted pouches feature Amcor’s AmPrima Plus material, which is designed to meet the APR Design Guide for recyclability. Moving to the Vizi cap and CHEERClassic standard spout, Once Upon a Farm will reduce the amount of plastic in the cap and spout by more than 30%.
