DuPont Packaging creates Advisory Panel, calls for entries

DUPONT Packaging has formed an Advisory Panel to ensure packaging innovations remain the cornerstone of the industry’s longest running, independently judged competition. The company has also started calling for entries for the 27th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation.

The deadline for entries is 2 February 2015. Entry forms are available at www.packagingawards.dupont.com.

The Advisory Panel will include leaders from the industry, academe, and the media. The creation of this panel will make sure the programme remains relevant and that it builds a better connection to the packaging industry.

The panel is hoped to leverage the programme’s ability to serve as a catalyst to inspire discussion on packaging innovations, said Yasmin Siddiqi, DuPont Packaging Awards leader at a session called “Honoring Packaging Innovation” held during the Pack Expo International 2014 in Chicago, Illinois.
