The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation’s (APCO) prestigious Annual Awards ceremony will return this year, in person for the first time in three years, on Thursday 10 November.

The APCO Awards celebrate the achievements of the leaders in sustainable packaging – those organisations and individuals who embody the very best of what the industry in Australia has to offer – working towards the 2025 National Packaging Targets and the development of a true circular economy for sustainable packaging.

This year marks the introduction of a new award for small to medium enterprises, the ‘Highest Performing SME award’, which will highlight leadership by small businesses in the packaging space. 

Crucially, submissions for the self-nominated ‘Our Packaging Future (OPF)’ awards are now open, so get ready to tell APCO about your ‘fantastic successes’  over the last year.
