Kellogg’s grants Smurfit Kappa with Transforming Innovation award

The Dublin-based packaging company, Smurfit Kappa, has been granted the ‘Transforming Innovation’ award from Kellogg’s, in the Americas.

Kellogg’s awarded Smurfit Kappa for its recent project in which it redesigned the food manufacturer’s packaging.

The packaging was redesigned to improve Kellogg’s supply chain, focusing on innovation and sustainability.

The newly designed packaging enables the Michigan-based manufacturer to use fewer cases during transportation, making the process more sustainable.
