The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and PlasticsEurope are pleased to announce the 2017 edition of the European Plastics Innovation Awards.

Plastics are the wonder material and the material of wonders! They are a key enabler of a modern lifestyle, fundamental to any innovation and a building block for a resource efficient and low carbon economy.

To raise awareness as to the amazing potential of this material, we will launch the 2017 European Innovation Awards competition. For the second time, this innovation award will acknowledge the work of companies that thanks to plastics have introduced and developed a new idea, a new method, a new product or technology that respond to a societal need while respecting the 3 Ps of Sustainability (People, Planet, Profit).

With this award, PlasticsEurope and SPE want to honour companies that have excelled with regard to innovation in the plastics industry. This special award is accessible for all companies that play a role in the value chain of plastics products, from the larger chemical companies to the plastic converting SMEs, without exceptions.

Eight categories were defined in which innovative solutions for the plastics industry can be submitted:

  • Best Plastic Application Design
  • Best Design for End-of-Life
  • Intelligent and Smart Plastics
  • Material Innovation
  • Hybrid Product
  • Best Application for Enhanced Sustainability
  • Best Lightweight Innovation
  • New Surfaces for Plastic Parts


Any company that is involved in the development and/or production of polymer materials/additives and plastic components can nominate parts for this competition.
