BioPak has received an honourable mention in the Ethical Corporation’s ninth Annual Responsible Business Awards ceremony held in London. Nominees included the likes of Unilever, Bridgestone, and Kimberly-Clark.

LIXIL Corporation has taken out the award for Innovation of the Year, with its SATO product series that help tackle the global sanitation crisis and positively impact the lives of millions of people.

BioPak has been highly commended in the awards category for the innovative compostable packaging range.

“Biopak has created a real alternative to plastic cups integrating a circular economy approach by making them 100% biodegradable. This innovation certainly tackles the global plastic challenge today, it is scalable and can provide huge impact worldwide’, says Ethical Corporation Awards chair of the judging committee, Christine Diamente.

Gary Smith, CEO at BioPak is thrilled: “We’re incredibly proud of our high commendation, especially with such an innovative and purpose-driven business – LIXIL Corporation – taking out the win. It is an honour to be in the same category as them” says Mr Smith.

A great variety of different sectors and industries from all over the world were represented. The diversity on display – both in terms of geographical origin and working sphere – demonstrated how delivering a clean, more responsible business future is becoming an international mainstream effort – and opportunity.

Ms Diamente is impressed: “This year’s Responsible Business Awards judging has been by far one of the liveliest and most challenging sessions I’ve had the honour of presiding. With a highly esteemed panel of global judges, we spent many hours toiling over the 2018 winners, while also choosing some highly commended submissions to signal a new way forward for companies, organizations and individuals.”

BioPak compostable packaging range is available in Australia and New Zealand, and following the announcement of a new partnership with Swedish company Duni AB, will soon be available across the globe.
