Keeping in theme with the week, the awards evening will use sustainable materials such as recycled copper used for the table centrepiece decorations, and low-energy LED lighting.
The menu will be designed in partnership with Yume, rescuing top-quality, brand-name surplus food that may have otherwise been discarded.
AUSPACK will be held from 26-29 March, in Melbourne. The Awards of Excellence will be held on March 27.
