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.
Submitted Projects & Winners
There were sixteen projects submitted to this year’s edition: 5 in Sustainability, 3 in Innovation, 8 in Design. The 2019 AWARDS presented a wide use of polycarbonate sheets; including public buildings, hotels, family homes, and sport halls.
