The World Packaging Organisation (WPO) has launched a Lifetime Achievement in Packaging award.

The award will recognise excellence in all aspects of packaging science, technology, and design on a global scale.
 
“The World Packaging Organisation is in a unique position to identify leading practitioners from around the world who've consistently pushed the boundaries in advancing the art, science and application of packaging to serve the needs of an ever more demanding society,” WPO president Thomas Schneider said.

“The discipline of packaging is one that is truly global.”
 
Each WPO member (representing a voting member) can make up to one nomination each year via the online registration form.

The first group of honorees will be selected by December 2016 and recognised during the WorldStars Awards ceremony during Interpack in May 2017.
