The New Innovation Award is for a specific innovation (technological or business practice) introduced during 2011. Entries will be judged on their degree of innovation, environmental efficiency and sustainability along with the practical and economic impact on service delivery.
The Converter Award for Sustainability/Environmental Responsibility, sponsored by Flint Group, is for a specific sustainable policy or innovation introduced in the last 12 months. Judges will look for the most sustainable and environmentally acceptable working practices made by converters in their purchasing, operational and manufacturing processes and that can demonstrate key materials, production, performance or consumer benefits.
Roger Pellow, Labelexpo managing director, says: “The Label Industry Global Awards are considered to be the label sector’s very own Oscars and give companies and individuals the chance to be rightly recognized for their superb achievements and contributions. It is always truly inspiring to see and hear about their excellent accomplishments and we invite converters/printers and suppliers to share their secrets of success with us.”
