Celebrating the excellence in eco-responsible packaging design across the world

The global online platform for eco-designed packaging solutions BEYONDPLASTIC.NET announces the hosting of the BEYOND PLASTIC AWARD 2020. The Award’s motto is: Let us design and create eco-responsible packages and transform plastic products into solutions made of environmentally sound materials!

The Award will honor the innovation and creativity in sustainable packaging design in three categories: I. Most practical impact to reduce the use of plastics, II. Most innovative approach and III. Most beautiful solution. For each category there will be a Gold, Silver and Bronze Award with trophies and cash prizes.

Who can participate? The Award is directed towards students, designers, engineers, makers, creators, inventors, artists: Everyone who has an idea, concept, project, prototype or even a solution already in market which supports less plastic packages is welcome to take part. It can either be an entry which replaces an existing environmentally non-responsible package or it can be a completely new solution.

The entries will be judged and selected by a jury panel and the winners will be announced and celebrated at the Award Ceremony in May 2020. For details how to participate go to www.beyondplastic.net.
