Amcor

We need dumber children.

Amcor.

So but here.

So we see the expansion at Sky Harbor is continuing.

That's all good news for the future and the investment they're making.

When you look at what's happening out in Peoria, the city of Peoria.

Amcor has made a massive investment.

So there's this snowball effect that happens when a corporation makes a major investment like TSMC is making in North Phoenix.

Here in Arizona, there's two things that are happening.

Amcor out in Peoria is doubling its investment.

Its advanced packaging facility is now going to be a $12 billion investment.

So when you look at when you focus on growth, I'm not going to preach a big sermon here, but If you go back to the Ducey administration and you go back to the creation of the Commerce Authority, when you look at the Chamber of Commerce and what they've done and even locally here with the mayor and others focused on TSMC and industry growth.

So I think we've got some wonderful examples recently, also for our circular product portfolio, which we call Circulin in the polymer space.

And we did a fantastic collaboration with many companies, including Amcor and Mondelez recently, with the Marabou Chocolate Bar, which has 75% recycled content from chemical recycling, certified through ISCC Plus Mass Balance.

And they put some on-pack communication and I mean really in order to be able to do that and have that confidence towards the consumer, there was a tremendous amount of collaboration from our company all the way through to the consumer brand.

And I think there that confidence of methodology has been extremely important to be able to really collaborate and communicate towards the consumer.

Another area would be some packaging companies.

So here I'm thinking of Aurora and Amcor.

These are not exciting, sexy businesses.

They're not the SpaceXes or these things that are smack bang in the AI thematic.

Some bottles are a bit nicer than others.

They have the fancy Grey Goose bottles, but bottles nonetheless.

And Amcor is really in food and beverage packaging predominantly.

But we think boring can be beautiful when it affords you the opportunity to buy something cheaply.

And so we are a state that needs it, but also a state that knows how to do something with it.

And when we've got states with companies today that are already making good use of recycled materials, uh, we work with a number of them, Amcor and, and Knopf and, and others that have done a terrific job of high levels of recycle utilization and, uh, recovery.

So, um, That mindset of manufacturing and the sharing of manufacturing know-how is really important.

And you become a hub of the talent that's needed.

Right, right.

And it really highlights the importance of circularity when you talk to companies like Amcor and Knopf who, you know, tell us that they have to go to Maryland or they have to go to Texas to get their glass or their plastics because ours are sitting in a landfill.

Right.

How ridiculous is that? Right.
