The jury charged with selecting winners in DuPont’s 24th Awards for Packaging Innovation brings decades of experience in delivering innovative, cost-saving solutions and sustainability ideas to the global packaging industry.
In evaluating entries, jurors will consider excellence in one or more of these areas: innovation, sustainability and cost/waste reduction. There is no fee for entry and DuPont materials do not need to be in the packaging structure.
Headlining the panel this year as facilitator is Packaging Hall of Famer Brian Wagner, vice president, PTIS, a HAVI Global Solutions Direct Company.
