Amcor, a global leader in responsible packaging solutions, has been recognized by the 35th Packaging Innovation Awards (PIA) for its AmPrima Plus solution for coffee. The Special Award category, sponsored by Dow, encourages advancements in sustainability and performance. Amcor’s AmPrima Plus solution offers coffee producers up to 68% reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional packaging alternatives. The PIA’s recognition reflects growing consumer demand for more sustainable coffee packaging. Recent research from Amcor reveals that sustainability claims positively influence 44% of coffee consumers when making purchasing decisions. One in five respondents indicated that they would forgo purchasing a coffee product if they perceived it to be unsustainable.

The AmPrima Plus solution is designed in accordance with the Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging (CEFLEX) guidelines, helping brands move away from non-recyclable structures to a mono-material solution that allows for easy recycling and bolsters brands’ sustainability claims. It is designed to run efficiently on production lines and maintain optimal oxygen and moisture barriers.

Acor shares a commitment to a more circular economy and has pledged to develop all its packaging to be recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2025. As of fiscal year 2024, 94% of Amcor’s global flexible packaging portfolio has a recycle-ready solution available.
