Life Cycle Assessment, including carbon footprinting,is the environmental measurement stick

ASSET Lifecycle Assessment: Amcor’s in-house life-cycle assessment tool helps our customers compare carbon footprint and other life cycle impacts of different packaging options, for fact-based decision making.

ASSET tool is certified by the Carbon Trust so brands can feel confident in its accuracy and neutrality.

Responsibly sourced materials means: taking into account the social and environmental factors when sourcing materials.

Opportunities to offer packaging solutions with materials certified according to programs like Forest Stewardship Council® for paper, ISCC/Bonsucro for bio-based PE and the AluminiumStewardship Initiative.

More partnerships and alignment with other sourcing initiativesare needed, e.g. with AIM-PROGRESS

AND ASI needs to be a driving force to tackle climate changein the aluminum value chain

The carbon budget to limit global warming to 2ºC by 2100 will be consumed by 2030-2040.

2030-2040 +2 C

“safe” limit

The Paris agreement was set at 1.5-2º C warming by the end of the century.

Currently we are on the path to 5-6º C warmer, which would change life on earth as we know it.
