Presented by the World Packaging Organization, WorldStar Awards recognize international packaging that illustrates continual advancement of the state of packaging art and creates a standard of international packaging excellence. WorldStars are presented only to those packages that, having already won recognition in a national competition, are compared by an expert panel of judges with similar packages from around the world. Awards are based on the judges' consensus that a package is superior in its own right, and better in its class regarding execution or innovation by comparison.
Cereplast Compostables resins are renewable, ecological substitutes for petroleum-based plastic products that replace nearly 100% of the petroleum-based additives used in traditional plastics with bio-based material such as corn, wheat, tapioca, and potato starches. Bunge Alimentos' use of Cereplast's biodegradable resin enables its packaging to be disposed of in industrial composting sites where, in less than 90 days, the tub will turn into biomass.
