The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) has announced that one of the Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) award winners from 2023 — JBS Australia and SEE — has been shortlisted in the WorldStar Packaging special award category — Sustainability.

Sam Churchill, Group Manager Sustainability, JBS Australia said: “JBS Australia are delighted to be globally recognised for our packaging innovation efforts, in partnership with SEE. JBS is focused on feeding the world sustainably, which includes addressing the waste and durability challenges that come with packaging. We are committed to evolving our packaging to reduce our footprint, by focusing on simplicity in design, considering end-of-life recycling and using materials that keep products fresher for longer. The CRYOVAC Darfresh Mono-PET rollstock used by JBS Swift exemplifies how we can drive better environmental outcomes, all by dressing the product in less.”

Alessandra Faccin, President APAC, SEE, said: “It is an absolute honour to receive this prestigious recognition. This achievement not only underscores the brilliance of our CRYOVAC food packaging innovation but also reflects our strong commitment to collaboration in our sustainability journey. It highlights the value we place on partnerships and the dedication of our teams, who work closely with customers to demonstrate the tangible benefits that sustainable packaging can offer.”

The winners of the WorldStar Sustainability special award will be announced on 15 June at the 2024 WorldStar Packaging Awards ceremony, which will be held at ProPak Asia, Bangkok, Thailand.
