The Reusable Packaging Association is opening the call for entries for the 10th annual Excellence in Reusable Packaging Award.

The award, according to a news release, recognizes primary (end) user companies and organizations that have developed and implemented measurable and innovative reusable transport packaging solutions in their supply chains. The application form is available on the RPA website here. Submissions are due by June 1, according to the release.

New this year, the release said, is a second award category for business-to-consumer reusable transport packaging for moving products from retail distribution centers or stores to consumers in-store pickup, direct-to-home delivery, or e-commerce applications.

“We added the business-to-consumer category this year because of the seismic changes in consumer buying behavior and order fulfillment processes that have been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Tim Debus, RPA president and CEO, said in the release.
