Mondi wins five World Star Awards for innovative packaging solutions in four categories

The World Star Awards 2018 have awarded five Mondi entries for their innovative character. The prestigious awards, organised annually by the World Packaging Organisation, take candidates from 33 national awards and five continents into consideration.

“We are honoured by this distinction and see it as a testament to how we enable our customers to be trend leaders and stand out in their markets,” says Armand Schoonbrood, COO at Mondi Corrugated Packaging. “Winning five awards in one night was incredible and is the result of close collaboration and listening to our great customers!”

Mondi’s award-winning solutions highlight clear trends in global markets. Be it in end-user goods packaging, beverages, point of sale, heavy duty or industrial packaging they fulfil customers’ wish for packaging solutions that provide easier end-user handling, unique marketing opportunities, and high material efficiency and sustainability.

The Mondi ‘Grill Box’ won an award in the Packaging materials & components category. It is a unique technical solution that makes it easier, cleaner and safer to light charcoal barbecues. The corrugated packaging elements creates a chimney effect that ignites the kindling and charcoal at the strike of a match. The box disintegrates and releases the charcoal at optimal temperature within 20 minutes of ignition. Water-based inks are used for printing to allow for complete burning without the release of toxic substances. Additionally, it has a handle for easy carrying and is less prone to damage than conventional bags.
