Yumpa Bars<\/a>, a natural energy bar made with cricket flour, won Best Sustainable Packaging at the World Food Innovation Awards International Food and Drink Event<\/a> for their compostable packaging designed by SHU’s Design Futures Team<\/a> and Parkside.<\/p>\n

Yumpa Bars are the first snack bar in Europe to have a fully compostable wrapper.<\/p>\n

“Environmental responsibility is a key company ethic for Yumpa. Sustainable packaging materials are therefore vital to the product range and Yumpa\u2019s commitment to achieving solutions that meet this requirement has been very impressive. <\/p>\n

The effort and extra investment required to push through the compostable film for the primary packaging was considerable but makes a real difference to the product. The final design for the wrappers, shelf ready packaging and postal box all illustrate that sustainable packaging solutions can still create a strong brand impact.”
\nJohn Kirkby<\/a>, director of Design Futures<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Design Futures and Yumpa collaborated through the Sheffield Innovation Programme<\/a> (SIP).<\/p>\n
