The European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders (EPSE, Brussels; www.epse.org) association has officially launched the 11th edition of its EPSE Awards.

The trade association representing polycarbonate sheet producers and suppliers across Europe has held the awards biennially since 2007. The event showcases projects that demonstrate the material’s strength, clarity, durability, and environmental performance.

According to EPSE, a total of 23 projects have been submitted across three categories – innovation, sustainability, and design.

Each entry is now live on the EPSE website for public voting, open until 10 September 2025, the association announced. Winners are to be selected based on a combined score: 50% jury evaluation and 50% public vote. The jury includes experts from journalism – among them a representative of Plasteurope.com’s parent, KI.PIE Group – as well as architecture and academia. The experts will be scoring projects on criteria such as originality, environmental impact, and creative use of polycarbonate.

“The EPSE Awards are more than recognition,” said an EPSE spokesperson. “They are a showcase of what’s possible with polycarbonate.”
