Here in WA
Amcor Recycling WA gathers recyclable materials from hundreds of WA
businesses every day and make sure they are sent to other organisations
which can use them to produce new products - everything from new plastics to
cardboard boxes to envelopes, bottles, cans. We have been operating in WA
for more than 40 years. Just in cardboard and paper alone we have recycled
more than 2 million tonnes so far.
We work with a wide range of other businesses in helping prevent waste and
keep resources out of landfills.
Recycle @ Work is an initiative of the Amcor Recycling WA office.
The Company We Belong To
Amcor is an Australian public company owned by over 113,000 shareholders. Its history dates back to the 1860s when Samuel Ramsden, a young stonemason from Yorkshire, arrived in Australia and established Victoria's first paper mill on the banks of the Yarra river in Melbourne.
Amcor was Australia's first paper and cardboard recycling company and remains the nation’s leading recycler of paper and cardboard products. We have already recycled more than 35 million tonnes of wastepaper and cardboard and plan to recycle a lot more in the decades to come.
Recently Amcor withdrew from forestry, fine paper and pulp mill operations to concentrate on its role as a leader in recycling and packaging for both economic and environmental reasons.
Australia desperately needs more manufacturing industries, especially more environmentally-friendly ones, so at Amcor we are proud to be one of our nation’s manufacturing success stories. We manufacture fibre, metal, and plastic packaging right across Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, the group manages Amcor's packaging paper mills and recycling activities. Amcor operates 65 manufacturing plants for paper and cardboard products alone. |
