World Packaging Organisation (WPO) has announced the 214 winners of the WorldStar 2024, the global packaging competition.
This year’s awards attracted 435 entries from 41 countries. The top five winners, by country, are Japan (28), Germany (21), Australia and New Zealand (16), USA (12), and Brazil and Austria (11 each).
“It is always with pride and excitement that WPO announces the best of the best packaging innovation around the globe,” said Luciana Pellegrino, WPO President.
“The WorldStar Awards showcases how dynamic and technological the packaging is on a global level. The increasing number of entries every year and the global reach of WorldStar prove that our industry keeps investing in efficiency and new solutions to better serve the society.
“This global award raises the voice for packaging and brings light to innovation, aligned to the main supply and consumption chains trends and modern life needs and challenges: save food, sustainability, branding and UX (user experience), food safety, smart packaging, among other aspects.”
According to Pellegrino, the WorldStar brings with it the effort of WPO´s members in 63 different countries on promoting local and regional awards to foster innovation on a local level and to recognise professionals, packaging converters and brands that make it happen.
The award ceremony will take place in Thailand, on June 15, during ProPak Asia. At the same occasion, WPO will announce the winners for the special categories: President’s Award, Sustainability Award, Marketing Award and Packaging that Saves Food Award.
Packages eligible for WorldStar Awards are those that have already received a national or regional packaging award from a packaging competition that is recognised by WPO, during the last two years.
