Amcor is supplying Tiptree, the preserves and spreads business owned by Wilkin & Sons, with packaging films containing certified 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for use in shrink film and pallet stretch wrap.
The change covers Amcor's collation shrink film and Bontite Sustane stretch wrap, each made with 30% PCR content.
Tiptree is making the switch before revisions to the UK Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) take effect in April 2027.
Under those rules, post-industrial recycled (PIR) material will no longer qualify towards the 30% minimum recycled plastic requirement, with only PCR content set to count.
According to Amcor, the films are intended to preserve packaging, supporting efficiency, load stability and wider cost considerations.
