Tuesday, 4 March 2025
After a record breaking number of entries in 2024, the Worshipful Company of Horners and the British Plastics Federation are accepting entries for the 2025 BPF Horners Awards.
As one of the most prestigious awards in the industry, the BPF Horners Awards are well-known for highlighting the best innovations in plastic manufacturing and processes developed in the UK. Three different awards are available:
Innovation & Design Award: Any innovation that contains/relates to a polymer (for example: plastic products, processes, machinery, concepts etc.)
Bottlemakers Award For Plastic Packaging: A polymer-based package with a closure (for example: pouches, bottles etc.). This award is not only for bottles - any packaging with a closure is eligible.
David Williams Award: This award is open to products/services that make an outstanding contribution to society (for example, they contribute to improving healthcare or sustainability).
Award winners will be rewarded with a Horners Trophy, a winner’s certificate, an invitation to the Horners Annual Banquet at Mansion House to network with the industry, and will also be mentioned in a press release announcing the winners, which will also be promoted on BPF social media platforms.
BPF Membership Services Director Stephen Hunt states:
Every year these awards highlight the best in plastics innovation from across the UK, showing how the plastics industry is constantly evolving, while making an undeniable contribution to society across a huge range of sectors. Each year I am amazed at the sheer breadth of talent we see.
Chairman of the Horners Award Committee Stefaan Simons states:
Whether you are an established moulder developing new technology or products, or a younger business or entrepreneur, the BPF Horners Awards have a category that will suit almost any genuine innovation in plastics. If you feel your product or process deserves recognition as a smart application of technology, entering is quick and easy, so be sure you don’t miss out on the chance to win one of these highly coveted awards.
The deadline for submitting is 30 June 2025.
