  • member pricing on grant application services;
  • discussion and knowledge sharing in a private online community;
  • member-only communications and resources; and
  • access to an online directory of fellow members, searchable by location, sub-industry, and advanced capabilities. 

Memberships are on a per-user basis, allowing unlimited members from the same company to sign-up individually. Each member can then have their own profile and login to AMGC’s online member portal and access member benefits.

Packaging News

In a collaborative effort, Kimberly-Clark Australia and Woolworths have successfully completed a packaging trial aimed at eliminating the use of secondary plastic packaging for Viva paper towels. The initiative, now set to become standard practice, is projected to save 15 tonnes of plastic annually.

John Cerini has stepped down as CEO of Pro-Pac, with Ian Shannon, who was chief operating officer of the company, taking over the role, and becoming managing director.

Sustainable packaging achievements were recognised at the APCO Annual Awards in Sydney last night. The event celebrated organisations, and individuals, driving change towards the 2025 National Packaging Targets and beyond. PKN was there.
