Congratulations to the 2019 EPSE AWARDS Winners!
EPSE – the trade association representing polycarbonate sheet suppliers and producers in Europe – is proud to announce the winners of the 9th edition of its EPSE AWARDS.
About the competition
EPSE AWARDS is an internal competition, with the aim to promote unique properties of polycarbonate sheets and to showcase the wide range of applications where it can be used. Polycarbonate is a material which can be easily worked and modeled, and therefore can be used virtually for any kind of application. For example, polycarbonate sheets are widely used in the construction sector, mainly for big-size installations like stadiums, arenas such as Olympic venues. Also, they are commonly used in automotive, electronics, and medical industries and more recently they have caught the attention of interior architects & furniture designers, artists and a number of other niche markets.
Judging process
As a first step the jury members judged the projects individually. Then the pre-selected projects were published on the EPSE website, where the public voted for the best project in each of the three categories: Design, Innovation & Sustainability.
