“At DuPont, we work with brand owners and value chain partners to
develop cost-effective packaging structures that help reduce waste and
have improved environmental performance. Innovation is key to these
new packaging approaches. In this year’s program, we will be
broadening the focus of the DuPont Awards from solely sustainability
achievements to include packaging innovation and waste/cost reduction
as well as sustainability achievements,” said Carolann Haznedar, global
business director--DuPont Packaging. “DuPont sponsors this program to
recognize achievements that provide learning to the industry and to
highlight the importance of collaboration. To foster knowledge sharing
of the winners of the 22nd Awards, we will conduct a global online
event that will be open to the industry. In addition, winners will be
honored in a celebration event with senior DuPont executives.”
