The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) has announced the finalists for the inaugural Save Food Packaging Awards for Australia and New Zealand.
The finalists include Botanical Food Company for Gourmet Garden Herbs & Spices, DON KRC for Cryovac Darfresh Vacuum Skin Packaging, HealthShare NSW for My Food Choice, Naber Plastics for SEALPAC’s EasyLid packaging system and SPC Ardmona for SPC ProVital Easy-Open Portion Control Fruit Cup.
Developed in conjunction with the World Packaging Organisation (WPO), the Save Food Packaging Awards are designed to recognise companies who are developing innovative and sustainable packaging that minimises food losses and food waste, extends shelf life and improves the supply of food.
A key component of the Save Food Packaging Awards is to raise the profile of the critical role of packaging to reduce food waste and therefore reduce product’s overall environmental impact. It is time that packaging technologists are designing packaging to save food.
Winners will be announced at the 2016 AIP National Conference dinner on the 1st of June at the Crown Promenade, Melbourne.
