With three new awards to its name, Amcor Limited has proven to be one of the world’s top packaging solutions companies. At the DuPont Packaging Innovation Awards the company was honoured with an overall DuPont “Continuing Innovation” Award, which recognises its continued, company-wide, innovation.
For the past 25 years, Amcor has 11 DuPont Innovation Awards, covering a range of innovations that help its customers deliver products to consumers safely and sustainably.
“We are delighted to be recognised by DuPont for our long-standing commitment to innovation,” said Amcor’s managing director and CEO, Ken MacKenzie. “We continue to work closely with customers and suppliers to deliver innovative and responsible packaging that provides real benefit to end-consumers and the broader community. This award is great recognition of Amcor’s talented co-workers who passionately and relentlessly apply art and science to develop innovative packaging solutions and bring them to commercial reality.”
Shanna Moore, programme leader of DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers said: "DuPont Continuing Innovation Award winners have shaped our industry in many ways by challenging traditions and responding quickly to consumer needs. Amcor embodies the spirit of continuing innovation having won 11 DuPont Packaging Awards.”
Top-notch lidding system
Moreover, Amcor Flexibles, which is Amcor’s business group, was also honoured with two Awards. One is for its support for developing a unique, life-saving, anti-diarrhea drug delivery system called AidPod created by its customer, ColaLife. This innovative package delivers life-saving medicine to children in remote villages through Coca-Cola distribution channels. The package holds oral rehydration salts, zinc and soap and acts as a sterile vessel to measure water for correct dosing. It is also designed to sit neatly in between Coca-Cola glass bottles within crates.
