At the start of your APCO Annual Report, you will need to provide your Baseline Metric, the number of stock keeping units (SKUs), or the total tonnes of packaging that your organisation have placed on the Australian market during your 12-month reporting period.

The reporting requires 7 criterions to complete: Governance and Strategy, Design and Procurement, Recycled Content, Recoverability, Disposal Labelling, On-site Waste and Problematic Materials, with additional information your organisation wishes to include in your APCO Annual Report.

The 44 questions completed for your packaging metrics create an overall performance metric for your business:

1 Getting Started: You are at the start of your packaging sustainability journey.

2 Good Progress: You have made some first steps on your packaging sustainability journey.

3 Advanced: You have taken tangible action on your packaging sustainability journey.

4 Leading: You have made significant progress on your packaging sustainability journey.

5 Beyond Best Practice: You have received the highest performance level and have made significant progress on your packaging sustainability journey
