The awards, hosted by Summit Media Group, Inc., recognize companies that demonstrate outstanding efforts in creating green packaging.
Among other guidelines, this year's entries were required to include verifiable data for at least one aspect of environmental impact. Environmental impact categories include: greenhouse gas reduction, sourcing metrics/impacts, end-of-life recovery metrics/impacts, life-cycle metrics/impacts, and/or social impacts.
Organic yogurt producer Stonyfield Farm received high marks for its switch from a high-impact polystyrene yogurt cup, to one containing 93% renewable polylactic acid plastic. The new packaging reduces greenhouse gases 48% versus petroleum-based packages.
