DuPont has announced the winners of its awards for Packaging Innovation, which include shampoo bottles, baked goods containers, frozen food trays and more. The “awards show” was held virtually, a nod to cost-saving and emissions-reducing efforts perhaps, and allowed attendees to interact with speakers and each other, watch videos about the winners and learn more about packaging innovation.
Brands recognized included Aveda (Vintage Clove Shampoo bottle made with 96 % recycled content), Whole Foods Markets (Sealed Air’s Renew-A-Pak made with 100 % renewable content, compostable and biodegradable), Healthy Choice (frozen food trays made with 40 % post-consumer recycled PET plastic), Bertolli (pasta sauce pouches, which uses 70 % less materials compared to glass jars. One truckload of unfilled pouches equals 25 truckloads of unfilled jars), and Pangea Organics (holiday gift packs made of 100 % renewable, recyclable, or biodegradable materials with vegetable-based inks, embedded with seeds and can be planted after use).
