REVEALING THE CATALYSTS OF SUSTAINABLE
TRANSFORMATION IN PACKAGING

Our mission is to accelerate the adoption of best practice and smarter technologies, while fostering collaboration and cross-fertilisation of ideas that deliver meaningful environmental progress.
Open to organisations of all types and sizes, entry to the Sustainability Awards is completely free. Submissions are assessed by a diverse, international panel of leading sustainability and packaging experts, making this one of the most prestigious and influential global competitions for sustainable packaging.
Winners will be announced live on the evening of 11 November at the Sustainability Awards ceremony, held during the Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht — bringing the industry together to celebrate the innovations shaping a more sustainable future.

ABOUT THE AWARDS
SPONSOR A CATEGORY
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.
