Greener Package Awards
We spoke to some of the brightest people in sustainability—our Expert Network—and asked them to design an awards competition that constitutes the first global independent, neutral awards competition focused on packaging sustainability.
The winners can be considered examples of packages and best practices that the rest of the industry can learn from. The competition's goal: Accelerate the learning curve for you and others on the sustainable packaging journey.
Deadlines for the 2010 competition are listed below:
- Submission period has closed, and judging is underway.
- Winners announced August 30, 2010
- Winners published in September 2010 issue of Packaging World
- Entry Fees: $350 for first entry
