RPA 2018 EXCELLENCE IN REUSABLE PACKAGING AWARD SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JULY 30

July 16, 2018 By Rick LeBlanc

Reusable Packaging Association

Tampa, FL (July 16, 2018). The submission deadline for applications for the Reusable Packaging Association 2018 Excellence in Reusable Packaging Award has been extended to July 30, 2018. “Expressed interest in submitting an application is at an all-time high,” said Tim Debus, President & CEO of the Reusable Packaging Association (RPA). “However, we have received feedback from potential applicants across industries that time constraints have hindered meeting the original application deadline. In support of the award’s purpose, which is to recognize the great work being accomplished with reusable packaging in the marketplace and to generate valuable and promotable case studies demonstrating the economic and environmental benefits of reuse, the RPA is extending the submission deadline to July 30, two weeks beyond the initial due date.” Given the timing of the 2018 PACK EXPO (October 14-17), judging will begin on July 31, so no further time extensions can be provided.

We encourage everyone who has a reusable transport packaging success story to take advantage of this extended deadline and submit an application. More information and the application form can be found at reusables.org.
