The 2025 Domestic & Household Packaging Design award recognises organisations that have designed innovative packaging materials, packaging within domestic and household items, toys, stationary, gifts, clothing, garden equipment, decorating and pets.
And the winners are...
The Bronze award went to Tui range of Child-Resistant Bags by Evergreen Garden Care Group NZ and Close the Loop; while the Silver award went to TetherSafe by Caps & Closures.
And, taking home the Gold award, was FibreCycle Breeder’s Choice Tasty Treats by FibreCycle and Zipform Packaging.
About the Gold winner:
The Breeder's Choice pack for cat treats is a first-of-its-kind and a new product for FibreCycle.
With 'People, Pet, Planet' as their guiding principle, Fibrecycle recognises that environmental sustainability is rapidly becoming the number one issue for many companies globally, and it was clear that a sustainable packaging solution was required for this new product.
Zipform Packaging's kerbside recyclable rigid composite pack provides not only a sustainable solution, but also an innovative storage medium for cat treats.
With over 90 per cent fibre content, and over 60 per cent recycled locally sourced post-consumer recycled content, the pack was a perfect choice for FibreCycle. This is the first time a linear formed composite pack has been used in this category in the region.
The pack utilises the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) on pack to communicate easily to the consumer the recyclability credentials of the pack.
The stackable overcap facilitates packs being able to be stacked in the cupboard/pantry.
