“…Meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” *

Amcor Australasia is committed to creating innovative solutions to environmental challenges and delivering valuable products and services to customers, assisting them to reduce their impact on the environment. Amcor Australasia uses a life- cycle approach to guide us in delivering on this commitment.

Sustainability Cycle The term ‘life cycle’ refers to an analytical framework that seeks to measure the environmental impact of a product’s value chain from  extracting and processing raw materials; manufacturing, transportation and distribution; use, reuse and maintenance; recycling and final disposal.
*Our Common Future, a report from the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED; more widely known as the Brundtland Commission), published in 1987
