The new range of Walkers display stands received the award for its reduced environmental impact, which was brought about through changes in design and materials used in construction.
The Popai UK Awards recognise excellence in the point of purchase industry and are judged by a distinguished panel of independent industry professionals.
The Arcadia display stand uses a variety of measures to reduce its impact on the environment and increase sustainability.
- The displays have a lifecycle from cradle to grave which embraces recycling and sustainable materials.
- Packaging is kept to a minimum with flat pack design and interweaved plastic enabling the amount of plastic used to be reduced by approximately 30% and the weight reduced by 25%.
- Approximately, 150 tons less steel was used for the production of the displays.
The award recognises months of dedicated work by both PepsiCo and our suppliers.
The design, development and manufacture of the Arcadia range was used as an educational tool for our Far Eastern supply base to illustrate not only the importance of embracing green issues but also the manufacturing and cost benefits of doing so. This educational and collaborative process is on-going and has led to similar successes across other manufacturing disciplines.
