FEATURE: 2012 AWARDS


requires a simple description of the initiative and is open to all members of the FPA. The association is seeking to recognise all initiatives,


large and small, and in any area. The critical factor is consistency of effort. Please give consideration to developments in any of the following that may have resulted in a beneficial environmental impact: processes and systems, logistics, office administration, resource management, staff education, new products and modifications to existing products. It could be manufacture, but equally it could be transport, energy saving, waste management and recycling - any development, no matter how small, that has resulted in a positive outcome environmentally.


FPA Marketing Campaign Award Sponsored by Pregis This award acknowledges the role of marketing in raising the profile of the disposable foodservice packaging industry and seeks to recognise the single best-planned, implemented and most effective marketing campaign among FPA members. All members are invited to enter marketing campaigns


that were implemented in the UK in the 12 months to March 2012. Campaigns may consist of any of the following: advertising, PR, exhibitions, direct mail, print, internet and promotions, either singly or in combination as a campaign. Entries may be accompanied by campaign materials,


such as photographs, advertisements, articles or press cuttings.


FPA Foodservice Operator Award Sponsored by Solo Cup Europe This award seeks to recognise operators who make particularly significant contributions to increasing the usage of single serve disposable foodservice packaging and enhancing the reputation of the industry. The award will be based on the votes of every FPA


member company. Each company is asked to nominate up to three operators, which could be drawn from any of the sectors with which FPA members trade; takeaway food outlets, coffee shops, in-store cafés, catering etc. The winning operator will be determined from the votes cast and in the event of a tied result members will be invited to vote between the finalists. The FPA Foodservice Operator Award is an important


award helping to raise the profile of both the FPA and single use, disposable foodservice packaging among end users/operators whilst crucially encouraging the usage of single serve disposable foodservice packaging. The research for the FPA Distributor Awards,


FPA Manufacturer Award and FPA Foodservice Operator Award will be taking place from December. Members will soon receive invitations regarding the FPA Sustainability Award, FPA Marketing Award and FPA Product Award with a closing date for entries of February 17, 2012. Bookings for the Gala Dinner and overnight


accommodation are being taken now by the FPA office.
