Packaging Solutions
The inaugural Future Trailblazers awards ceremony, which will gather some of the best and brightest young talent from all packaging industry areas, is now accepting the final rounds of industry wide nominations, with Packaging Innovations & Empack just two months away.
Event organisers Easyfairs have confirmed that entries are now open, with no cost, and will close at 5 pm on Wednesday, January 10. The award is open to all areas of the industry; but focuses on five categories and job roles:
Designing for the future (technologist/designer/print tech).
Production delivery (production operative/engineer).
Sustainable thinking (sustainability professional).
Delivery management (project manager, artwork coordinator).
Making it happen (buyer, supply chain and logistics/quality assurance).
Ian Roe, member of the judging panel and director at Mercury Search & Selection, said: ‘Rather than being the villain, packaging enables us to transport, preserve, and serve goods. Without good packaging, we have wastage – and the waste of the resources that went into creating those products.
‘Celebrating the people making the biggest improvements has a double focus. First, improvements are good for the future of the industry and good for society. Second, it should inspire others and the next generation who are the future of our industry.’
Parisa Maleki, community and content manager at Easyfairs, said: ‘If it is the people creating new ideas and insights you value, you don’t want to miss our second annual Future Trailblazers showcase. This event gathers some of the best and brightest young talent from all areas of the packaging industry, celebrating those who work tirelessly to impact the future of packaging.
‘There is no better way to learn about the future than by learning from those who will go on to shape it. This event will be a must see for anyone wishing to get ahead of the curve in today’s fast paced, ever changing market.’
