Among the 36 packages taking home 2009/2010 Ameristar Awards from the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP),  many boasted obvious sustainability attributes, although just one took home the 3M Sustainability Award. (See pictures of winners.)

Among these winners, a clamshell for XO Athletic, billed as “environmentally friendly,” was honored in the “Other Retail” category. The package was a project of green industry newcomer NextLife Packaging Group (NGP), the packaging-focused business unit of NextLife, which supports, represents, and certifies a sustainable packaging supply chain.
