As managing editor of What's new and interesting in plastics packaging? DuPont Co. is on the lookout once again -- the company today issued a call for entries for its 22nd annual DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation.
The awards are pretty big in the packaging sector -- DuPont touts them as the industry's longest running, independently judged competition.
As you'd expect, sustainability is an important criteria this year. The company also is looking for products that are innovative, and packaging that helps customers (and consumers) reduce cost and waste, according to Carolann Haznedar, global business director for DuPont Packaging.
Entry forms and guidelines are available at www.packaging.dupont.com.The deadline for entries is Feb. 12. There's no fee for entry, and DuPont materials do not need to be in the packaging structure.
