The Hive Awards
The Hive Awards are live! Food & Drink Business has launched its inaugural industry excellence awards and is calling on all processing and packaging innovators in the food and beverage sector to get on board and submit entries.
There are nine categories, with awards for Best Ingredient, Processing, Packaging, NPD, and Local Manufacturing. There’s recognition of Business Excellence for large companies and SMEs, a start-up Rising Star, and an industry Gamechanger.
The Best Processing Award will recognise the best project that displays a product or process innovation and/or application. Processing has been a cornerstone of food and drink since preserving began and is integral to our future food systems. It has been the driver for developing methods that improve shelf life, texture, nutritional integrity and of course, taste, while also addressing ways to be more efficient, sustainable, and reduce waste.
The Best Packaging Award will recognise the best innovation and/or application of packaging for food and/or beverage products. Packaging plays a vital role for food and drinks, from contamination protection, extending shelf life, driving sustainability goals and a circular economy to creating an identity for a particular product or brand.
The Hive Awards night is an opportunity to raise your company’s profile but also hear about what other companies are doing and how they are doing it, which may inspire new ideas and practices for your operations.
Head to thehiveawards.com.au for all the program requirements, categories and scoring rubric. Entries are open until 23 February at 12 noon.
