The awards are designed to recognise pioneering ideas and showcase the vital role vinyl plays. Our industry faces an increasingly challenging environment with growing geopolitical uncertainty - highlighting the need for new technologies, sustainability stewardship, and strong leadership. 

This year’s categories feature Reaching Net Zero, which looks at examples of CO₂ emissions reduction, energy efficiency, and the use of renewables. Circularity, emphasising the integration of recycled content and recycling design, and Performance & Design, which focuses on product improvement and the value of innovative designs.  

“We are looking for brilliant examples of sustainability, innovation, and challenging the status quo, that have the potential to make our industry stronger. Previous winners range from multinationals to academics, and these awards are an exciting opportunity to help grow small ideas into global solutions,” said Arnaud Valenduc, Ineos Inovyn’s Business Director. 

All entries will be judged by an independent panel of experts, and the winners revealed at the awards ceremony in Düsseldorf on 9 October. To enter, please submit your project through our online entry form by 30 May 2025.
