A lesson in sustainability

As part of our mission to educate and engage as many people as possible about the benefits of plastic and why we use it, we have been sponsoring the Starpack Student and Schools Awards since 2017. The awards are a superb initiative to get children and students exploring imaginative ways to create plastic packaging.

This year’s brief for students focused on packaging to help reduce food waste, with a second brief for schools centred on food-to-go packaging to promote healthy eating for children. Using thermoformed plastic (a plastic sheet heated to create a specific shape), or plastic film, students were asked to create inspirational packaging concepts to help children choose healthier food-to-go options.

The brief also asked students to design packaging graphics and to ensure their packaging could be recycled. We’re proud to support this superb initiative to help develop packaging technologists of our future!
