Amcor CEO Ron Delia said: “Solid fiscal 2024 second quarter and first half execution led to adjusted free cash flowahead of last year and adjusted earnings per share modestly above our expectations set out in October, despitechallenging market conditions. This leaves us on track to achieve our full year earnings and cash flow guidance for the2024 fiscal year, which we are reaffirming today.

Second quarter volumes were slightly lower than we anticipated at the beginning of the quarter, as destockingaccelerated, particularly in the month of December, and demand remained soft. Against this backdrop, our teamsresponded by proactively taking actions to further reduce cost. We have seen volumes improve in January relative tothe first half and we expect the business to build momentum in the second half, including delivering mid-single digitadjusted earnings growth in the fiscal fourth quarter. Confidence in our earnings outlook is based on known second halfbenefits related to the elimination of earnings headwinds from the sale of our Russia business, a lower interest expenseheadwind, and our structural cost reduction and productivity initiatives.

Kingsport Mill Reopens, Announces Corrugated Recycling Partnership

Our Kingsport Mill is running again, using recycled fiber from a corrugated recycling partnership established with a regional grocery store chain and attracting customers from across the corrugated industry. After a successful two-year conversion project and the production of the mill’s first roll of 100-percent recycled containerboard in January, Domtar hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony in May to celebrate the Kingsport Mill’s grand reopening. Local and state officials and employees joined together to mark this important milestone. The Kingsport Mill’s production has continued apace through the summer, thanks in part to a new corrugated recycling partnership established with Food City. The mill will collect and recycle old corrugated containers from the chain’s 140 stores and use them to produce 100-percent recycled performance linerboard and medium.

Mondi and Vafo Group unleash recyclable dog food packaging for leading Finnish brand Hau-Hau Champion

Mondi is supplying a range of recyclable mono-material pet food packaging for Hau-Hau Champion, one of Finland’s most recognised brands in the premium dog food segment. The new packaging fulfils the pet food producer’s objective to launch a reclosable and recyclable packaging solution that does not compromise on performance and retains the strong brand recognition in stores. It also addresses sustainability concerns of end consumers that are playing more of a role in the purchasing of pet food and products. Mondi’s customer-centric approach, EcoSolutions, helped Hau-Hau Champion find a high-barrier solution that can be reclosed, keeps food fresh and confines any smells. The previously unrecyclable multi-layer packaging contained a metallised layer which was replaced by Mondi’s recyclable mono-material packaging: a reel material for form-fill-and-seal (FFS) 1.5kg bags and pre-made FlexiBag Recyclable for bags up to 15kg. FlexiBag Recyclable is a mono-material polyethylene (PE) pre-made bag developed specifically for recycling, which means it can be deposited directly into Finnish plastic recycling streams.
