Over the last two months, Royal Crown Packaging Limited (RCPL) has been supporting Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) through various laudable initiatives geared towards the continuous growth and development of Ghana Packaging Industry. These include but not limited to; inspiring KNUST packaging students through facility visit for a first-hand, practical experience of packaging operations; sponsoring KNUST students to win the coveted WorldStar Global Packaging Awards held in Bangkok, Thailand; and supporting the first-ever PackWeek 2024 – an initiative of KNUST in conjunction with the Technology Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources Packaging Technology Students’ Association geared towards building skills and knowledge in packaging to support Ghana’s economic and industrial development, while inspiring attendees to adopt sustainable and artistic packaging design practices.
It would be recalled that KNUST Student Team of Edna Akyaa Amo-Duah, Barthelomew Nyarko, and Maxine Naa Adoley Allotey-Quist cleared the prestigious WorldStar Global Packaging Awards with the creation of Alpha Biopac Packaging – an innovative yet functional sustainable packaging solution crafted from eco-friendly water hyacinth fiberboard that provides robust solution for handling, storing, and transporting smoked fish. This creation not only earned the team the coveted Overall Winner Gold Medal in the International Packaging Design Student Competition but also the following awards:
- Gold Medal for Best Food Packaging
- Silver Medal for Sustainable Packaging
- Bronze Medal for Packaging that Saves Food
Thank you RCPL, for supporting packaging development in Ghana!
