The study showed 76% of consumers across the U.S., the U.K., <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span> want to recycle more and find recyclability is the most important sustainability attribute for packaging \u2013 above other aspects including reusability and the materials used.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers are also calling on both brands and governments to make changes: 83% said they want brands to make it clearer how to recycle packaging. At the same time, 80% think it should be the responsibility of recycling service providers, such as local governments, to improve infrastructure so that packaging can be recycled in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Amcor Chief Commercial Officer <span class=\"xn-person\">Peter Konieczny<\/span> said:&#160;&#034;This research shows the great opportunity to help consumers recycle more. At Amcor, we are working to provide the responsible and high-performance packaging consumers are looking for. To increase recycling rates, the research also shows that consumers see both brands and governments playing a role in improving recycling and waste management infrastructure.&#034;<\/p>\n<p>Amcor also released today its 2021 Sustainability Report, which shows the company is making strong progress towards its sustainability aspirations. Consumer desire for more recycling aligns directly with Amcor&#8217;s pledge to make 100% of its products recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President of Sustainability at Amcor <span class=\"xn-person\">David Clark<\/span> added: &#034;Amcor is making strong progress on our commitment to innovate on packaging design, to collaborate for waste management infrastructure and to educate for greater participation in recycling.&#034; <\/p>\n<p>Amcor reported that 74% of all its products are now designed to be recycled and that it increased its purchase and use of recycled content by 86% in the past two years. The packaging company also continues to reduce its environmental footprint thanks to its EnviroAction program, including a 57% year-on-year increase in renewable energy use.<\/p>\n<p>Read Amcor&#8217;s 2021 Sustainability Report <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/www.amcor.com\/sustainability-report__;!!BupLon6U!5h0jwcHZc-DMODmC8Ea2IGDtbf2a9Vy0AtNZ-7rcxhk18rukuk9dRTz58sDNrWl-O5Np$\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a> and discover new, more sustainable packaging solutions on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amcor.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amcor.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Notes to Editors<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In conducting the market research published alongside this report, Amcor surveyed 2,000 respondents in each of the UK, US, <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Australia<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">China<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span> online between <span class=\"xn-chron\">27 October 2021<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-chron\">9 November 2021<\/span>.
