Meet the 2022 Winners

of the Excellence in Reusable Packaging Awards

Award for

Reusable System

NestFresh partnered with H-E-B, and IFCO to create a sustainable, food safe reusable egg packaging solution that is suitable for suppliers of all sizes and can be rapidly deployed in supply chains. IFCO designed structurally robust and highly protective crates that keep the weight off the eggs to reduce egg damage. These crates also enable better traceability in the supply chain and are foldable, reducing both transportation costs and emissions.

Award for

Reusable System

Rivian partnered with SSI Schaefer Systems to assist in the design of an innovative container line utilizing Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP). Rivian and Shaefer collaborated with Envision Plastics and Plastic Bank to supply the OBP, which is collected from waterways across the globe.

Award for

Reusable System

Volvo turned to ORBIS Corporation to assist in finding a reusable container packaging solution to accommodate 30 steering wheels. ORBIS rose to the challenge, exploring two designs of the “AdjustaPak”. The first included a robust frame with multiple rails and hanging fabric dunnage that was then inserted into the bulk container. The second style removed the metal frame and instead used steel rods and hanging fabric dunnage.

Award for

Design Innovation

The Paxxal PX3 pallet uses a dual modality manufacturing process that combines the strengths and efficiencies of both roto molding (significantly less energy required utilizing patented SMART technology) and injection molding techniques (mass production with reduced cost).

Award for

Product Technology Award

Surgere’s Interius Asset Management module is a cloud-based application that allows complex supply chains to accurately track and analyze the movements of reusable assets. RFID tagged assets transmit information to one central database. For the automotive supply chain, Surgere created its first industry-specific data “community”, AutoSphere, to connect OEMs, suppliers, and logistics providers on a common tracking platform.
