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.

ABOUT THE AWARDS
Book Your Pass
Packaging waste, the climate crisis and other environmental challenges demand an urgent and joined up response from consumer goods and the wider packaging value chain.
Challenging us to take a rigorous and holistic view, the Sustainability Awards sets the agenda on best practice, turns the spotlight on the most important areas of R&D, and helps separate greenwash from the innovations that make a genuine difference.

The Sustainability Awards is free to enter, and open to all kinds of organisations throughout the packaging value chain and beyond – from start-ups to global brands and universities to manufacturers.
The Awards emphasize the importance of holistic and substantive impacts, and watching out for unintended consequences.
Its rules and processes are transparent and, though it is organized by Packaging Europe, the Sustainability Awards is independently judged by an diverse, international jury of experts, with zero input from the organizers.
