In the western hemisphere, summer is coming to a close and many families, like my own, are enjoying the last days of warm weather, longer days and a last chance for a family get-away. If your family is anything like mine, Walt Disney World is always on the list for a vacation destination, no matter what time of the year it might be. We will be heading there in October and the kids are counting down the days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I visit a Disney property, I am amazed how they always anticipate what\u2019s next for their customers \u2014 from customer service to technology. Walt Disney once said, \u201cTimes and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walt\u2019s quote and this particular Disney aspiration always resonates with me because it\u2019s spot-on how we believe we can best serve our customers \u2014 by looking ahead and focusing on the future. We do this is by making your packaging choices easier and supporting your ability to make smarter, more informed, more sustainable decisions based on data and the art of \u201cthe possible.\u201d As you may have heard, in June, Amcor took an important step forward and introduced a revised product branding architecture to help our customers navigate the incredible range of packaging solutions we bring to the marketplace. We\u2019ve created brand families around key market segments, features and materials. One of the new brand families I\u2019d like to highlight is EcoGuard\u2122.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EcoGuard\u2122 encompasses Amcor\u2019s technologies and products that deliver against essential sustainability criteria. These include:
\u2022 Recycle-ready packaging: products designed and produced according to industry recyclability guidelines.
\u2022 Lower carbon footprint: products with a minimum 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to equivalent products.
\u2022 Recycled content: products made in part with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, rooted in the circular economy.
\u2022 Biomaterials: products made using natural, bio-based products
\u2022 And emerging technologies, including compostable and high-barrier paper packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know these dimensions matter to consumers and can influence their choices at the point of sale, which is why we know it\u2019s important for you to be able to easily identify and clearly understand your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming months, I\u2019ll be spotlighting several of these products and highlight the sustainability benefits these products can bring. In the meantime, please visit “What sets us apart<\/a>” on Amcor.com if you\u2019d like to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of our more sustainable packaging came as a result of our world-class innovation and collaboration with many of you, our customers. So, I\u2019m also excited that we are expanding our innovation network with two new global innovation centers opening in Belgium and China. These new centers will greatly expand the reach of our innovation network, which currently includes sites in Neenah, Wisconsin, and Manchester, Michigan, in the U.S., as well as smaller sites around the world. With respect to EcoGuard\u2122, we use these centers to bring together material and barrier science and create more sustainable products offered under our EcoGuard\u2122 brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you\u2019ll have the chance to visit one of these centers and experience our proprietary Catalyst\u2122 program \u2014 if not, ask, we\u2019d love to host you! Our Catalyst\u2122 program is a collaborative and creative approach that gives you the ability to customize ideas in an advanced material science laboratory, helping to showcase key environmental benefits and unique features that can help further differentiate your products. Your ideas can then come to life and you can see how they might perform in real-world applications and scenarios. If you\u2019ve leveraged our Catalyst\u2122 approach as part of your innovation work, thank you! If you haven\u2019t given us a try, please do, we\u2019d be honored to work with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, like Walt Disney, I am optimistic about the future. I\u2019m excited to keep looking forward. There\u2019s an exciting future ahead of us. And I\u2019m energized by the choices \u2013 and possibilities \u2013 on the horizon for our customers. Let\u2019s continue to collaborate and develop innovative packaging for our changing world. Until next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
