The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) is the organisation leading the development of a circular economy for packaging in Australia. 

We work with governments, businesses and other organisations across Australia’s large and complex packaging value chain to develop the insights, resources and programs needed to build a sustainable national packaging ecosystem.

APCO is facilitating the delivery of Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets, an important step on the pathway to a circular economy. 


To bring the 2025 National Packaging Targets to life, APCO has developed a coordinated, whole-of-supply chain approach to promote the avoidance, reduction, reuse, recovery and recycling of packaging materials.
 
APCO delivers this model of shared responsibility through the promotion of sustainable packaging activities including circular packaging design, improving collection and recycling systems, expanding markets for used packaging, and circular economy projects. All of APCO’s work is underpinned by the Collective Impact Framework, a powerful cross-sector collaboration tool that unites a diverse range of stakeholders from across the value chain behind our common vision of a circular economy for packaging.
