The innovations cover materials such as glass, wood, rigid or flexible plastic, metal, paper and cardboard. The jury awarded 4 innovations for functionality and design; 14 in the sustainability segments; one each for the New Material, Packaging Machines (Engineering, Technology, Software) categories and three each for Cost-Effectiveness and Product Presentation. Two solutions were also awarded in the Young Talent category.
