Amcor has secured RecyClass Recycled Plastics Traceability Certification for certain grades of its Bontite Sustane stretch film. The approved films include specified amounts of post-consumer recycled content and are aimed at helping customers prepare for changes to the UK Plastics Packaging Tax due in 2027. The certification confirms that recycled plastics used in finished products are independently audited, traceable through production, and consistent with recognised European standards. Amcor noted that from April 2027, only post-consumer recycled content will count towards the 30% threshold under the UK tax rules. The Bontite films are produced at Amcor facilities in Leominster, UK, and Zele, Belgium, and are used by customers in beverage, manufacturing, retail, and consumer goods markets.
Amcor PLCCertification helps customers comply with upcoming UK Plastics Packaging Tax changes, potentially boosting demand for Amcor's films.
