Over 150 guests crowded into a historic wharf building on the edge of Sydney’s iconic harbour on 18 April for the Aerosol Association of Australia’s Gala Awards Dinner.
The Dinner – which also marked the 60th anniversary of the Association’s founding – was attended by guests from China, India, Japan, Mexico, Thailand, Europe, the UK, USA, and New Zealand and was the highlight of ‘aerosol2024’ - three days of activities which included hosting a meeting of the International Liaison Committee, a one-day Industry Forum, and the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Asian Aerosol Federation.
The evening also marked the 30th anniversary of the Association’s Aerosol Industry Awards, an initiative introduced in 1994 to encourage and recognise innovation and excellence in the industry and presentation of the winners for 2024 was the highlight of the dinner.
Precision Valve’s ‘STYLISH 52’ spray cap actuator took out the Awards for Packaging Innovation and Sustainability for its one piece, single resin design.
Awards MC, popular Sydney identity Dion Woo, noted that at just 4.6g the innovative actuator spray cap was around 20 to 50 percent lighter than competing products, offering major material reduction, simplifying the recycling process and contributing to a lower CO2 footprint.
Also honoured was the newly-launched QUICK SCREEN SPF50 WHIPPED SUNSCREEN & BODY MOISTURISER MOUSSE from Australian beauty start up The Quick Flick, which took out the prestigious ‘Best New Product’ category as well as being recognised for Innovation in Product Design.
Filled by Melbourne contact packer Ensign Laboratories, the product features a luxurious rich mousse formula that offers sun and body care whilst also addressing concerns about aerosol sunscreen sprays by making it easier for users to apply the right amount of product to ensure effective sun protection and providing a thick moussse application that is unaffected by wind gusts.
