A key component of the Save Food Packaging Awards is to raise the profile of the critical role of packaging in reducing food waste – and therefore the product’s overall environmental impact.

Winners will be announced at the 2016 AIP National Conference Dinner on 1 June at the Crown Promenade, Melbourne.
