Amcor and Ge Wu An launch inverted-cup pet food packaging in China first

Amcor has partnered with Chinese pet food company Ge Wu An to launch Li Kou, marking the first commercial use of inverted-cup packaging in China. The design features a bottom seal allowing pet owners to peel, flip and lift the pack so contents drop into a bowl intact, eliminating food waste and scraping. The polypropylene cup format addresses common issues with traditional tins, including damaged pull rings, sharp edges and leftover food. It also offers weight and material advantages over aluminium cans, reducing transport costs. Development took over a year through Amcor's Catalyst innovation platform, which connected the companies early in the project. The collaboration combined Ge Wu An's consumer insights with Amcor's packaging expertise to create a solution differentiating through improved user experience.

Amcor supplies Tiptree with certified 30% PCR films ahead of UK tax changes

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. Tiptree is making the switch ahead of revisions to the UK Plastic Packaging Tax taking effect in April 2027. Under those rules, post-industrial recycled material will no longer qualify towards the 30% minimum recycled plastic requirement, with only PCR content set to count. Production takes place at Amcor's UK facilities in Leominster and Bromborough. Both products hold RecyClass Recycled Plastics Traceability Certification under EN15343, verifying the amount of PCR plastic used and confirming traceability through monitored manufacturing processes.

Amcor partners with Ocean Potion on new sunscreen tube packaging with 360° graphics

Amcor and Ocean Potion have partnered on packaging for Ocean Potion's new 3.4oz mineral kids SPF 30 sunscreen lotion. The companies, who have collaborated on laminate tubes for nearly ten years, designed packaging featuring a reflective blue gradient with a ripple-like effect on the lower half and a yellow cap matching the brand logo. The complex design required all 12 stations on the printing press, using multiple layers of flexographic printing. Amcor applied a clear overlaminate to protect the inks and maintain the artwork over time. The tube features uninterrupted 360° graphics despite seam-related challenges from metallic foil and inks. Ocean Potion general manager Rasheda Jackson praised Amcor's creativity and technical skills, saying the artwork will "make a splash on shelves".

MOSH/MOAH migration market to grow from $618M to $1.6B by 2035 as EU regulations drive barrier tech adoption

The global market for preventing mineral oil hydrocarbon migration in recycled paper packaging is projected to grow from $618.2 million in 2026 to $1.6 billion by 2035, representing an 11.7% compound annual growth rate. The market was valued at $513 million in 2025. Growth is driven by stricter European Union food safety regulations and increased adoption of contamination prevention technologies. Companies including Mondi Group, Stora Enso, Amcor, and Sealed Air are advancing functional barrier solutions. The expansion reflects sustained investment in barrier materials and testing technologies designed to reduce migration of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons from recycled packaging into food products. Circular economy initiatives and consumer awareness of chemical transfer are also contributing factors. Dry food packaging held a 40.5% market share in 2025 and is expected to grow at 12% annually through 2035.

US stock futures rise as July CPI meets expectations at 3.4% annual increase

The US Department of Labor reported the consumer price index rose 0.1% in July, matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate, whilst the annual headline CPI increased 3.4%, down from 3.5% in June. Core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 0.2% monthly and 2.5% annually, both in line with estimates. The benign inflation data may influence the Federal Reserve to maintain current interest rates at its September meeting. Officials will review both July and August figures before deciding. In corporate earnings, Amcor reported adjusted quarterly earnings of $1.23 per share, beating estimates, with revenues of $6.4 billion. Trimble posted $0.86 per share, exceeding the $0.80 estimate. Performance Food Group missed expectations with $1.59 per share earnings.
