“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.”
