NP^® SiOPack^®: A technology recognised worldwide

Nanopool GmbH has repeatedly been awarded prestigious environmental, scientific, and innovation prizes for its unique NP^® SiOPack^® technology.

Particularly noteworthy is the recognition from the Green Product Awards jury, which highlighted the importance of the eco-friendly coating for food packaging. NP^® SiOPack^® was described as "an outstanding, more sustainable technology for paper and single-use products," enabling consumers to intuitively recognise that packaging with this natural coating is recyclable and compostable.

In addition to numerous other awards, NP^® SiOPack^® for paper products received the Gold Green World Award and a CFI Award for "Europe's Best Green Alternative Innovation."

The continuous recognition from leading experts and institutions underscores the effectiveness and importance of NP^® SiOPack^® as a groundbreaking solution for sustainable packaging.

Europe's Best Green Alternative Innovation 2020

Among other things, it was because of the revolutionary development of environmentally friendly and food-safe packaging, the economical production of NP liquid glass and its proven effectiveness in the fight against SARS-CoV-2 pathogens, that the jury of the CFI.co Sustainability Awards honored Nanopool with the prize “Best Green Alternative Innovation Europe 2020 “.

The official announcement of the award states that "further promising developments" can also be expected from the visionary family-owned company. The CFI Award Programme recognises individuals and companies that provide genuine value through best practices in the international business community.

Golden Green World Award 2020

Nanopool won Gold in the innovation sector of the Green World Award 2020 with its environmentally friendly packaging solution.

With its award-winning packaging protection technology, an ultra-thin protection barrier makes it possible to produce 100 % plastic-free and at the same time 100 % compostable packaging. For this, the company was awarded Gold at the “Green World Awards 2020” by the internationally operating Green Organization.

As part of winning the golden “Green World Award for environmental best practice”, the company was also named a Green World Ambassador for proven environmental best practices. Nanopool thus joins a group of well-known “Green World Ambassadors” from earlier years, including the McLaren Group, Toshiba Tec UK and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

Nanopool wurde als erstes Unternehmen für ultradünne Schichten ausgezeichnet. In der Vergangenheit erhielten die NP^®-Lösungen von der Green Organisation bereits wiederholt die Auszeichnungen Green Hero und Green Apple.

Out of 1,500 submitted projects from 56 countries, Nanopool asserted themselves in the multi-stage process of the Green Product Award 2022 and won the highest award for their sustainable surface functionalization of paper and natural fiber products: “Best of New Materials”.

Since 2013, the international Green Product Award has recognized products and services that excel in design, innovation and sustainability.
