Revealing the catalysts of
sustainable transformation in packaging
The Sustainability Awards has a mission to illuminate the most important innovation and initiatives across the packaging value chain. We aim to help accelerate adoption of best practice and better technologies and nurture cross-fertilization of ideas in order to support positive environmental impacts. Open all types of organizations with no entry fee, and judged by a diverse international jury of experts, it’s the most prestigious and influential global competition for sustainability in packaging.

“I’m grateful to participate each year in the judging panel of the Sustainability Awards, which I consider to be the ‘Nobel Prize’ for sustainable packaging innovations – both on the market and early developments. It has been great to see the competition growing with each edition, becoming globally recognized as best in class. I also love the interactions with my fellow judges, a group of globally recognized individuals sharing a world of expertise in this ever evolving field.”
