The man behind a host of educational offerings for the packaging industry in Australia has won an international Lifetime Achievement Award in the WPO's 2018 Worldstar awards.
Fellow Emeritus Professor Harry Lovell OAM has been recognised for a lifetime of furthering education by the World Packaging Organisation in its 2018 Worldstar Awards presentation.
Prof Lovell has been a long-time proponent of the importance of building skills and advancing education in the packaging industry in Australia and New Zealand.
"His prime focus has been to impart knowledge and teach others," Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) executive director Nerida Kelton said.
"Lovell was instrumental in reinvigorating the AIP education offerings," Kelton added.
"He helped develop a successful suite of educational and technical solutions for members, which was underpinned through the establishment of a collaborative network between leading packaging technologists across Australia and also leading firms focused on the manufacture of packaged goods."
Lovell was also instrumental in reinvigorating the AIP, not only as an educational body but also a business unit during his two terms as national president in 1990s.
He sat on various judging panels, published numerous articles on food technology and packaging, and delivered numerous papers across the globe.
