Elevating its awards to a whole new level this year, the APC hosted two well attended events not only to celebrate the achievements of its top performing signatories, but to provide a forum for companies leading the way in packaging sustainability and innovation to share success stories with their peers. 

The APC said it hoped that the broader APC signatory community will be able to benefit from the experience and achievements of top performers. 

Currently 939 organisations are signatories to the APC, showing their commitment to reducing the environmental impacts of consumer packaging. Of those, 22 were recognised at the two events for achieving the highest result in the reporting period (to March 2014) in their respective industry categories.
