Gordon Stewart is the WPO Vice President responsible for education. This is an area in which he has spent all his professional life and to which he is passionately committed. The role of the WPO in promoting education in packaging, especially with those communities across the globe where the need for better packaging is so critical to social and economic development and is perhaps the most important part of the WPO’s work. Many who enter WorldStar may not realise that their entry generates revenue for the WPO to support its education initiatives, and therefore WPO is extremely grateful to all WorldStar entrants for their continuing help.

About WPO WPO – World Packaging Organisation is a non-profit, non-governmental,
international federation of packaging institutes, associations, federations and other interested parties including corporations and trade associations. Founded in 1968, on the occasion of the second Japanese International
Packaging Exhibition, the World Packaging Organisation is made up today of member organisations from 45 countries. Many members are packaging institutes; other significant members are national or regional trade organisations that promote their countries’ packaging products. In recent years, WPO has focused on packaging in developing nations.
