BioPak has been awarded the coveted title of Innovation Award at the 2024 Food Manufacture Excellence Awards.
Global sustainable packaging brand BioPak has won the coveted title of Innovation Award at this year’s Food Manufacture Excellence Awards at London Hilton Bankside.
Fourteen accolades were up for grabs at the 2024 ceremony, which took place on Thursday 8th February and included more than 60 finalists, recognising the very best in British food and drink operating standards and processes.
The Innovation Award featured a range of BioPak’s world-class packaging solutions that cater to a wide variety of cuisines, including:
Aqueous BioCups
Christmas BioCups
Hot Cup Plant Fibre Lids
Wahaca Plant Fibre Taco Box
Plant Fibre Sushi Trays
Chinese Plant Fibre Soup Spoon
Included in these innovations was BioPak’s first custom-made plant fibre home compostable (NF T51-800) taco packaging in the UK market for Wahaca, helping MasterChef winner, Tommi Miers, and her team deliver their tacos fresh and piping hot to customers.
BioPak’s home compostable (NF-T51-800) Aqueous BioCups were also a stand-out, utilising a ground-breaking technology that creates a unique water-based dispersion coating that significantly reduces the amount of material needed while still providing the same leak and grease-proof benefits as other coatings like traditional PE plastic. When paired with certified home compostable (NF-T51-800) Plant Fibre Lids, they provide a groundbreaking alternative for consumers.
BioPak UK Managing Director Leanne Osborne commented on the significance of this award for BioPak.
“Innovation is at the core of BioPak, and we are incredibly proud to be recognised by the industry for a number of our unique designs,” said Osborne.
“Our goal is to create world-class products that disrupt the market and champion circular solutions. We pride ourselves on cultivating a dedicated team who work tirelessly to provide the very best product designs, staying at the forefront of technology to provide leading compostable solutions that are functional, scalable and put the planet first.”
Bethan Grylls, Food Manufacture’s editor, added: “The calibre of both the paper entries and interviews were exceptional, and it goes to show how incredible our food and drink sector is as the world continues to grapple with numerous challenges.”
“If you’re seeking business excellence, then look no further than the winners of the Food Manufacture Excellence Awards. Established in 2000, this annual night has become one of the most prestigious award programs in the industry.
