Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, announced that two of its pioneering products - ESSENTIELLE and STELVIN® Goes Greener - have been honored with the Green Innovation Award at the prestigious 2024 SIMEI Innovation Challenge "Lucio Mastroberardino."

The Green Innovation Awards, held at SIMEI's 30th edition in Milan, recognized Amcor Capsules’ business for its innovative products advancing packaging in the wine and spirits sector:

• ESSENTIELLE, the industry's first plastic-free aluminum and paper sparkling foil. By replacing plastic with paper, the carbon footprint of this product is 31% lower compared to standard complex foils, while the aluminum component is designed to be recycle-ready.
• STELVIN® Goes Greener was recognized for achieving up to a 35% reduction in carbon emissions compared to a standard screw cap produced with European aluminum sheets by incorporating up to 46% recycled and low-carbon primary aluminum.
