UPM Raflatac's RafCycle wins Australian award

UPM Raflatac’s RafCycle recycling service has won the silver Sustainable Packaging Design of the Year 2023 award at the Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) Awards. The announcement came on March 28 at the PIDA Awards Gala Dinner.

The PIDA awards are designed to recognize companies and individuals who are making a significant difference in their field across Australia and New Zealand.

The award is a proof that in the market there is a need for solutions that support circular economy while at the same time bring positive business impacts,’ said Juha Virmavirta, director of RafCycle Solutions at UPM Raflatac.
