Overview

About Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO)

At the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), we are driving the shift towards a circular economy for packaging in Australia. As a coregulatory not-for-profit, we work with government, businesses, and stakeholders across the packaging value chain to create practical solutions that support a sustainable packaging ecosystem.

Through initiatives like the National Packaging Targets, APCO is leading efforts to:
✅ Ensure 100% of packaging is reusable, recyclable, or compostable
✅ Increase plastic packaging recovery to 70%
✅ Boost recycled content in packaging to 50%
✅ Phase out problematic and unnecessary single-use plastics

To accelerate progress, APCO’s 2030 Strategic Plan, launched in late 2024, introduces economic incentives for packaging circularity and a new fee model to support industry-wide transformation. This approach aligns with global best practices and ensures businesses are equipped to design out waste, enhance recycling systems, and drive real change.
