At Steric, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility. As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment and in alignment with the 2025 National Packaging Targets, we’re proud to share our latest milestone: the submission of our 2025 APCO Annual Report and Action Plan.

This yearly report, required by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), outlines how we’re working toward a circular economy for packaging in Australia—minimising waste, improving recyclability, and increasing the use of recycled content across our product lines.

Highlights from Our 2025 Report:

We’ve completed the transition to clear, recyclable PET for our lemon & lime juice bottles—making 336 tonnes of PET fully recyclable.
We’re launching recyclable film for our WOW Taco Seasoning—two years in the making.
An awning has been built at our warehouse to protect bottles and extend packaging life.
We’re in the process of installing a resin mixing system to introduce 30% recycled content into our PET bottles.

Action Plan Commitments Include:

Designing packaging for material efficiency and recovery
Incorporating recycled materials into 48% of our packaging
Ensuring 100% of our packaging includes correct disposal labelling
Diverting 26% of our on-site waste from landfill
Phasing out problematic and unnecessary plastics

Steric’s performance rating has progressed to “Advanced”, reflecting our tangible action and continued dedication to sustainable packaging practices.

This journey is a collective one—and we thank our teams, partners, and customers for supporting this mission every step of the way.
