Dow announced the winners of its 2020 Packaging Innovation Awards recognizing packaging achievements in design, technology, sustainability and user experience.

The highest honor, the Diamond Award, went to Henkel AG & Co KGaA’s Social Plastic Ecosystem in partnership with Plastic Bank. To create a new line of sustainable cosmetic packaging, Henkel conducted a pilot program that utilized recycled materials from Plastic Bank, a social enterprise which aims to stop plastic waste from entering the ocean and provide economic opportunities for people in extreme poverty. Since its launch in 2018, Henkel has produced and sold 15 million bottles made from recycled plastic across Western Europe.
