This correlates to significant sustainable benefits as the elimination of the throwaway sleeve saved 973 tons of paper. Additionally, the design of the container includes “stay cool” handles, which makes it easier for the consumer to remove the heated container from the microwave. The container is also re-usable and fully recyclable. Honorable Mention – Thin Wall Packaging Meadow Fresh Yoghurt Package Submitted by Alto Packaging & Goodman Fielder Molder: Alto Packaging

With a tamper evident break-band and fully re-sealable lid, this design helps to reduce product spoilage after opening. The in-mold labels deliver high impact graphics, stretching from the base to the top of the tub and on the lid as well. Recyclability is improved because the foil seal is eliminated and due to the strength of the tub, the container may be re-used as a storage container in the home for both dry and wet goods.
