Hero Packaging, a waste-reduction firm that provides plastic-free, home compostable shopping mailers and packaging to other small businesses worldwide, won the coveted ORIAS best B2B retailer<\/em><\/strong> award Friday night at a formal banquet.<\/p>\n

The winners of the various categories for the Australia Post Online Retailer Industry Awards (ORIAS) for 2022 were announced at a gala dinner that was held at the International Convention Centre in Sydney following the two-day conference and exhibition for Online Retailers.<\/p>\n

Numerous executives from the retail industry<\/em><\/strong>, including The Iconic CEO Erica Berchtold and Showpo creator Jane Lu, attended the sold-out event, which was emceed by Australian actor and television host Robert Mills.<\/p>\n

Co-founders Anaita Sarkar and Vikram Dav\u00e9 attended the event with the rest of the team to accept the prize on behalf of Hero Packaging, which also received a nomination for Best Small Independent Retailer. Hero Packaging won the Best B2B Online Retailer award.<\/p>\n

After winning the prize, Sarkar said that the team “certainly wasn’t anticipating it.”<\/p>\n

Days after releasing their most recent product, AquaHero, a dissolvable packaging solution, the founder said, “We are extremely happy and honoured to receive Best B2B Online Retailer.”<\/p>\n

Thanking everyone who contributed to their company’s success, Anaita said:<\/p>\n

“I’ve always admired people like Jane Lu, Julie Mathers, and Mark Baartse, and I’ve always wanted to launch a company that I’m proud of. I spent a lot of time learning and using e-comm techniques and testing, failing, and re-testing strategies, so hearing our name called out was an experience I’ll never forget.”<\/p>\n

In Australia and around the world, Vik and Anaita are “dedicated to eradicating plastic from packaging and shipping.”<\/p>\n

Noted on their website:<\/p>\n

“We have prevented using more than 16,000,000 plastic mailers thus far. We currently ship over 4,000 HEROPACKs daily, which is rising quickly.<\/p>\n

Vik and Anaita founded Hero to realize that excessive amounts of plastic were being used for packaging goods in their initial e-commerce retail venture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
