Sustainable strides in plastic

摘要

As packaging attunes to the environment and all things sustainable, the DuPont Awards are following suit and recognizing breakthrough achievements in sustainability. Announced in April at DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers' headquarters in Wilmington, DE, the winners of the 20th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation demonstrate new uses of renewable materials, effective recovery and energy efficiency along with convenience, high graphic appeal and critical functionality. Factors contributing to improved sustainability were the challenges given to the entries. An international jury also selected three products and processes as notable accomplishments, which they define as contributing to an understanding of sustainable packaging.
