As we head into this year's public vote, let's head back to last year's Pro Carton Young Designers Award Winner! 🏆🎉 Last year's Food & Drink Packaging Award went to **UrbanBite** by Nang Htwe Htwe Lwin from Ravensbourne University, UK. UrbanBite is a sustainable and interactive carton package for confectionery products, designed to replace plastic containers with a clever slide-to-open mechanism. Crafted from a single piece of A4 paper carton board, it can be customized for specific products, allowing one piece to be dispensed at a time. Congrats to Nang and Ravensbourne University for this innovative achievement! 👏 You can check out our interview with her here: https://lnkd.in/ez2z8WEm #ProCarton #YoungDesignersAward #Sustainability

Tomorrow will be the opening ceremony of the #olympics in Paris. An opportunity to celebrate excellence in sports... but also in wood construction! Indeed, this edition was marked by a conscious choice to build new Olympic venues with timber rather than steel. From the accommodation in the Olympic village to the Aquatics center, the #Paris2024 Olympic Games opted for flexible, low-carbon wooden structures. Even the beds for the athletes are made with carton! So join us in celebrating this incredible milestone, both for sports, and for the forest-based industry! #Greensource eugreensource.org Cepi, Pro Carton - The association of carton and cartonboard manufacturers, The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment , European Pulp Industry Sector AISBL, EUROPEAN ORGANISATION OF THE SAWMILL INDUSTRY
