Today is the final day for submissions to the Save Food Packaging Awards
Packaging’s role in reducing food waste is the next challenge for packaging technologists, designers and engineers. Are you up for the challenge?
The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) has launched the inaugural Save Food Packaging Awards for Australia and New Zealand in conjunction with the World Packaging Organisation (WPO). The Save Food Packaging Awards are designed to recognise companies that are developing innovative and sustainable packaging that minimises food losses and food waste, extends shelf life and improves the supply of food.
Entries in the ANZ Save Food Packaging Awards will be considered in the following three categories:
- Agriculture — Industrial
- Food Services
- Retail (primary packaging)
The winners of each category will automatically be submitted into the international World Packaging Organisation Save Food Packaging Awards.
Please email info@aipack.com.au or visit http://aipack.com.au/2016-save-food-packaging-awards/ to access the application form. Applications close on 15 April 2016.
