Smurfit Kappa’s sustainability credentials were evident in each of the 12 winning submissions. A 100 percent pa- per-based reel for engineering components, previously made from plastic and metal, eliminated 35 tonnes of plas- tic annually. A pack created for the PPG paint multinational was one of the stars of the Household category. The plastic jerry can was replaced with a Bag-in-Box solution which facili- tates easier pouring of the paint and led to an 80 percent plastic reduction.
