Daniel Kelly, founder and CEO of Polymer Solutions International, has been inducted into the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) Hall of Fame during the association's Annual Business Conference held in Chicago.


This prestigious recognition underscores Kelly's significant contributions to the bottled water industry and his longstanding commitment to sustainability.


With a career spanning over 40 years, Kelly has been a key figure in the beverage and packaging sectors, advocating for innovative solutions that reduce environmental impact.


His work has focused on the development of reusable packaging systems not only for bottled water but also for various industries, including food and pharma. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly practices.


Kelly’s involvement with the IBWA has been extensive; he has served as a committee co-chair and has been an active member of both the board of directors and the executive committee. His leadership within the organisation has helped shape policies and initiatives aimed at promoting responsible practices within the bottled water industry.


The induction into the Hall of Fame serves as a testament to Kelly's dedication and innovation in creating sustainable packaging solutions.


Kelly's efforts to champion reusable packaging are particularly relevant. His initiatives not only aim to reduce reliance on single-use plastics but also to foster a circular economy where materials are reused and recycled.


The IBWA Hall of Fame recognises individuals who have made significant contributions to bottled water, and Kelly's induction highlights the importance of sustainability in shaping the industry's future.
