The award was presented by the “Fachverband für Schaumkunststoffe und Polyurethane (FSK)” during a ceremony at the end of November in Papenburg.

The submissions of junior staff and professionals or companies were evaluated and awarded separately in order to ensure a fair and appropriate assessment and award based on knowledge and experience.

In addition to the innovative strength of the products and solutions submitted, the criteria were their market and competitiveness, material-specific implementation and technical feasibility. The expert group praised the obvious commitment in the area of sustainability, savings and environmental protection of all projects.
