Amcor and Tip Top to launch new sustainable bread packaging
The initiative is set to cut 160t of virgin plastic from production by December.
February 14, 2025
Amcor has partnered with Australian bread manufacturer Tip Top Bakeries to introduce a new line of bread bags that contains 30% recycled plastic, aligning with the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS Scheme via a mass balance approach.
This sustainable packaging initiative reportedly marks an important step for the Australian sliced bread market, aiming to reduce the use of virgin plastic.
Since last September, these bread bags have been offered across a selection of Tip Top products at major Australian retailers.
By December this year, the initiative is set to remove 160 tonnes (t) of virgin plastic from production, furthering Tip Top’s commitment to sustainability.
This follows the company’s earlier move to adopt 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard bread tags in 2020, which cut out 140 million pieces of single-use plastic annually.
Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific sustainability director Richard Smith said: “At Amcor, we are dedicated to pioneering advanced packaging solutions that reduce reliance on virgin plastics while maintaining the quality and safety consumers expect.
