AWEN Packaging Consulting Pty Ltd

The name AWEN comes from the celtic symbol representing life balance, with the paths of nature, knowledge and truth converging. At AWEN, we believe the end point of that path must be our beginning. We help businesses plan for the end-life of their packaging materials; not just the beginning. Our mission is to eliminate landfill by empowering producers, suppliers, designers and retailers to use packaging that is not thrown away or even recycled after use! Instead, clever, innovative and thoughtful packaging can be fed back into a circular economy. Our founder is a packaging materials engineer with extensive global corporate experience. He has witnessed the confusion, lack of information and misinformation in the marketplace. AWEN was created as a trusted source of information and advice for business owners who want to do better for the environment. Our vision • To replace waste management with waste elimination • To circumvent landfill by enabling a circular economy • To inspire whole-of-life thinking for packaging • To find beauty in minimal, low-impact packaging solutions • To make the right choice for the environment the best (and easy) choice for businesses and consumers. AWEN is specialized in guiding brand owners on the APCO Sustainable Packaging Guidelines, APCO Annual Report, Action Plan and advising on the Australasian Recycling Label Program (ARL). AWEN is a trusted consulting to the food, beverage, beauty and grocery industries. We offer practical advice on packing, transporting, protecting and presenting products.
