Winners of 22nd DuPont Awards to be announced at online event

DuPont says its DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation is the industry's longest running, independently judged global awards program honoring packaging materials, technology and service innovations, but that won't stop the science-based products and services company from using the Internet to announce award winners.

Winners selected by a prestigious independent panel from 160 entries from around the world will be announced at a global online event-- The DuPont Packaging Exchange-held May 25, 2010, from 10 to 11 a.m. EDT. The event is free with registration and offers the opportunity to interact virtually with the co-chairs of the Global Packaging Project (GPP), a project of the Consumer Goods Forum (formerly the CEO Forum); Roger Zellner, director of sustainability, Kraft Foods; and Sonya Raja, head of packaging, Tesco. Also available on-demand throughout the event will be jurors' evaluations and perspectives from the winners on improving the sustainability of their packaging.
