Our judging process is completely neutral, objective and fair. First of all, it is the independent panel of experts – the judges who play the key role in the selection of the winners that is one important feature that makes the Ringier Industry Innovation Awards special and different from other such programs in China. These judges cannot be bought, we cannot be bought – nominations are open to everybody in the industry and the final winners are selected solely on their merit – and nothing more. Moreover, Ringier Plastics Innovation Awards is the only Award that not only focuses on the suppliers who introduce the products or technologies but recognizes end users that show Innovation in their manufacturing process and or product design.”
