CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: 2018 RPA EXCELLENCE IN REUSABLE PACKAGING AWARD

Applications for the 7th annual Reusable Packaging Association (RPA) Excellence in Reusable Packaging award are now being accepted. The award recognizes primary (end) user companies and organizations that have developed and implemented measurable and innovative reusable transport packaging solutions in their supply chain. The application form is available on the RPA website at reusables.org. Submissions are due by July 15.

“The RPA Excellence in Reusable Packaging award spotlights and celebrates primary user implementation of reusable transport packaging solutions that positively impact supply chain costs and environmental footprints,” said Tim Debus, RPA President & CEO. “We honor achievements with reusable packaging and promote the successful outcomes for educational purposes.”

Two awards will be given in 2018: one award to for-profit companies and one award to non-profit or governmental organizations. “We added the non-profit category in 2017 to recognize the increasing number of reusable packaging solutions being deployed in this sector,” said Debus. “By highlighting and sharing these initiatives, we hope to spur even more reusable transport packaging use across all types of industries and organizations.”
