Leading sustainable packaging consultancy Aura is proud to announce that its proprietary e-halo platform has been shortlisted in the Stationers’ Innovation Excellence Awards 2025 – rounding out a trio of recent awards nominations for the company.
This latest recognition for the e-halo platform comes on the heels of two other significant shortlistings. Earlier this year, e-halo was named a finalist in the Sustainability Pioneer category at the 2025 Sustainable Food Awards.
Aura has also earned a coveted nomination for the Sustainability Consultancy Award at the 2025 Global Sustainability Awards. This honour spotlights Aura’s breakthrough approach in helping some of the world’s largest retailers and etailers achieve ambitious packaging sustainability goals. The winner of the 2025 Sustainability Consultancy Award will be revealed during a ceremony in London on 10 September.
e-halo is Aura’s global packaging sustainability software platform that captures, interprets, and transmits live, accurate packaging information. The software captures granular-level packaging data to future-proof users’ decision-making. e-halo also enables users to calculate recyclability and carbon instantly and submit their packaging data for regulatory reporting.
The platform’s ‘at risk & banned’ feature automatically flags attributes that may face regulatory restrictions in the future or have been prohibited to identify compliance and risks early in your packaging approval process.
e-halo is supported by Aura’s consultancy expertise and horizon scanning to build foresight into the platform to evaluate sustainability in real time as legislation evolves.
Greg Lawson, Managing Director at Aura, said: “At Aura, we are laser-focused on enhancing the sustainability of packaging through e-halo, and we are honoured to have our platform recognized at the prestigious Stationers’ Innovation Excellence Awards. With e-halo, we are helping clients globally to transform their brand packaging portfolios for a more sustainable future, providing data-driven insights to ensure the right packaging materials make it through waste streams.”
“With an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, e-halo helps clients with managing sustainability every day, providing up-to-date compliance data and horizon scanning that ensures packaging portfolios are futureproofed against global packaging legislation and aligned to their sustainability goals. Aura’s expert consultants partner with clients to help them anticipate and mitigate risks pre-emptively, rather than react after the packaging has entered the supply chain.”
“Our strategic partnerships are designed to close the loop on packaging circularity and engage customers at every touchpoint. This shortlisting, alongside our other two recent nominations, reflects our ongoing mission to be the global reference point for sustainable packaging and help our clients lead the way in more sustainable packaging to ensure they are equipped to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.”
