Marcel de Botton Sustainability Awards
Recognizing that our plants drive sustainability.
The Marcel de Botton Sustainability Awards recognize that Sustainability is driven by our Plants. They are also a tribute to our Founder, Marcel de Botton, the man who had the foresight to create a company, sustainable from day one back in 1976, that has become an industry standard for rigid plastic packaging production.
Two awards, Performance and Commitment. Meet the 2022 winners, Logoplaste Thurrock, UK and Logoplaste Mealhada, Portugal.
The prize, for each award, is a 25.000€ donation to a local charity, chosen by each plant.
Creating a positive impact in the environment and in the local communities.
The Plant Managers got together with their teams, so everyone could be involved, to decide which association would receive the prize money.
MEALHADA, led by Mafada Leão Cardoso, chose two institutions.
Associação Portuguesa para as Perturbações do Desenvolvimento e Autismo de Coimbra - their most recent project, Cozinha & Bar ConVida, is a non-profit business that provides job opportunities for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The kitchen and bar serve healthy food and snacks, and there is also a catering, take away and home delivery services.
The prize money will be used to fully train 15 employees with autism and cover part of the equipment needed for the bar and kitchen.
Associação de Paralisia Cerebral de Coimbra – an association that supports patients with cerebral paralysis. One of the daily tasks this entity has is to drive patients, to and from home, to various activities, including medical appointments. Covering a wide area, daily runs pick up 200 people.
The prize money was used to repair and maintain 2 vans that were completely stopped.
THURROCK, managed by Ross Brewer, opted for one association.
Little Havens, very close to Thurrock’s heart, provides specialist care and support for babies, children and young people living with complex or incurable conditions. Their motto is “making every day count” for children and families across Essex who need our hospice care.
The donation will cover over three days of care, including the cost of nurses, carers and support staff, the cost of running the building as well as medical and personal care supplies.

ECO 6L Refillable Filtered Water Bottle Wins Silver in the International Design Excellence Awards—IDEA 2022
The ECO 6L bottle is a tour de force in practical design.
Upright, it’s easy to fill and carry. Face down, it makes a great dispenser for the counter or the fridge. Made of recyclable, BPA-free PET in a UV-filtering shade of blue, the bottle’s face is sliced by a facet that recreates the brand’s logo and creates a titled base that makes sure you get every drop from the bottle when it’s lying down. It’s a brilliant combination of form, function, and branding.

ECO 6L Refillable Filtered Water Bottle
"This project has been an incredible journey since day one when NWP - New Water Project challenged our team.
I feel very fortunate and happy to have been the lead designer responsible for this meaningful project of a reusable & refillable 6L bottle that, until now, has brought us so much joy. I am also very honored to be part of this fantastic design team at the Logoplaste Innovation Lab. Without them and the rest of the Logoplaste Innovation Lab team, it would certainly not have been possible to achieve such a result.
Being recognized with a Best Of The Best at the Red Dot Award is something I've always found almost unattainable. And wow, that's exactly what we got last Friday in Berlin. We took the stage at Konzerthaus Berlin to receive the Best Of The Best trophy and, for lack of better words, it was an incredibly fantastic feeling."
