Sustainability
Responsible Materials. Circular Design.
Overview
Our Commitment to More Circular Packaging
AVI combines recycled-content PET, material traceability and resource-conscious design to support more circular packaging. Our approach connects sourcing and manufacturing with product protection, helping customers select materials that meet their performance and sustainability requirements.
Through AVI Trace, grade-specific documentation and independently assessed programmes, we help customers understand the materials behind their packaging. Recycled-content specifications and supporting evidence are matched to the selected product, while compliance requirements are assessed for the intended market.

Circular Pack Attributes
What "circular" means on an AVI pack
Recyclable
Packaging designed for collection, sorting and recycling, with recyclability assessed against the systems available in its intended market.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Material and design choices aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, with comparisons supported by a defined baseline, assessment scope and data.
Recycled Content
Recovered material incorporated into new packaging, with the recycled percentage and post-consumer share specified for the selected grade.
Recycle-Ready
Packaging designed against recognised recyclability guidelines. Actual recycling depends on local collection, sorting and processing infrastructure.
Lightweighting
Packaging designed to use less material while maintaining the protection, handling and processing performance required for its application.
360° Traceability
Visibility into recycled-material sources, composition and supporting chain-of-custody records, with documentation linked to the relevant grade and supply.
Supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals
14 Goals Relevant to Our Operations
AVI has identified 14 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals as relevant to our business and stakeholders. Responsible Consumption and Production is our central focus, connecting our core operations with opportunities to improve material efficiency, support recycling and reduce waste.

Evidence Behind Our Approach
Independently Audited Certifications and Verification Programmes
AVI's certification and verification programmes provide third-party assessment within their defined scopes. Explore Programmes & Certifications for the relevant issuing body, certificate details and validity, or contact our team for supporting qualification documents.
Recycled Content Documented Per Batch, Not a Blanket Figure
AVI's rPET range offers recycled-content levels from 30–100%, depending on the grade. Batch-level documentation supports the specified content, helping customers assess the material supplied for their order.
Compliance Tracked Market by Market, Not Assumed
Packaging regulations, plastic taxes and extended producer responsibility requirements differ between markets. AVI supports customer assessments with relevant material and recycled-content documentation, matched to the selected product and destination.
