In addition, there will be a Sustainable Packaging & Processing Award; Save Food Packaging Design Award; Young Packaging & Processing Professional of the Year award; Industry Packaging & Processing Professional of the Year award; and a scholarship.
The APPMA Scholarship and the Packaging Council of New Zealand Scholarship offers one person from both Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to enrol in the Diploma in Packaging Technology.
The APPMA Scholarship will be for Australian applicants, and the Packaging Council of New Zealand Scholarship will be for New Zealand applicants.
The PIDA Awards will be the exclusive award program for all Australia and New Zealand entries into the WorldStar Packaging Awards.
