Opal has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, sharing progress against our Vision: Opal shapes the future through sustainable packaging.

The report introduces Opal’s Shaping the Future Sustainability Plan, which incorporates feedback from our team members, customers and suppliers and sets the direction for how the business will continue to improve sustainability performance in years to come.

The 2025 Sustainability Report provides an update on this plan and outlines the steps Opal is taking to operate sustainably, support thriving people and communities and reimagine packaging through innovation and circular design.

In 2025, Opal took another step on our decarbonisation journey by reducing our Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions by 8.2% compared to 2024 and completing an inventory of our emissions footprint, including Scope 3 emissions.

Resource efficiency remained an important focus, with the development of strengthened Circular Resources and Water Stewardship commitments.

With anticipated shifts across packaging regulatory environments, the importance of collaborating with our customers to design for circularity and create innovative packaging solutions continues to be a key focus for our teams.

• In 2025 Opal collected more than 580,000 tonnes of wastepaper and recycled into recycled papers.
• An average of 60%+ recycled content is included in the paper-based packaging Opal produces*
• Opal continued to reimagine packaging through product innovation. The Opal paper punnet was recognised at the 2025 Packaging Innovation and Design Awards, later winning a World Star Award – recognising its contribution to fibre-based packaging innovation.

“Our 2025 Sustainability Report reflects the collective effort of our people, customers and partners as we continue to improve our sustainability performance, strengthen transparency and shape the future through sustainable packaging,” said Chris Nagaura, Opal Chief Executive Officer.
