The entry form will request relevant detail, if an entry is requested to be specifically considered in one of the above categories.
The area of sustainability and environmental issues are often misinterpreted.
The issues that may be examined could include:
- AVOID - To what extent has the package been designed to avoid over packaging i.e. the features that do not directly impact on the protection and preservation functions.
- REDUCE - How has the designer used technology to reduce the mass of the pack and how does this mass compare with international examples. Is the material locally sourced?
- RE-USE - Is the packaging reusable either as returnable packaging or are there other after uses.
- RECYCLE - Is the pack recyclable and are all components i.e. label, closure, inks, adhesives etc, compatible with each other from a recycling perspective. What percentage of the pack is made from recycled materials, accepting that recycled materials significantly reduce the carbon footprint? Is the converter/brand owner, and this pack part of any voluntary industry driven recycling initiative? Name it.

The monarch butterfly is the most well known butterfly in most of the world.
Most predators have learned that the monarch butterfly makes a poisonous snack. The toxins from the monarch's milkweed diet have given the butterfly this defense. In either the caterpillar or butterfly stage so the monarch needs no camouflage because it takes in toxins from the milkweed and is poisonous to predators.
Many animals advertise their poisonous nature with bright colours...
