Amcor is supplying Tiptree, the preserves and spreads business owned by Wilkin & Sons, with packaging films containing certified 30% post-consumer recycled plastic for use in shrink film and pallet stretch wrap. The change covers Amcor's collation shrink film and Bontite Sustane stretch wrap, each made with 30% PCR content. Tiptree is making the switch before revisions to the UK Plastic Packaging Tax take effect in April 2027, under which post-industrial recycled material will no longer qualify towards the 30% minimum recycled plastic requirement, with only PCR content set to count. According to Amcor, the films are intended to preserve packaging, supporting efficiency, load stability and wider cost considerations. Tiptree chose the two film products because the PCR content is independently certified, which the companies said would assist with sustainability reporting. Production takes place at Amcor's UK facilities in Leominster and Bromborough, and both products hold RecyClass Recycled Plastics Traceability Certification under EN15343.
Amcor PLCAmcor secures a supply deal with Tiptree for certified 30% PCR films, boosting demand for its sustainable packaging products.
