On the occasion of the 31stème edition of Luxe Pack Monaco, the jury for the Luxe Pack in green awards, which each year recognize the most environmentally-friendly packaging solutions as well as companies' responsible approaches, deliberated to select the 2018 winners.
Qualipac wins in the Packaging Solutions category
The prize for best packaging solution went to Pochet Group company Qualipac, for its L'essentiel make-up case. L'essentiel was born of Qualipac's desire to offer a box that promotes sustainable consumption. This product is part of the Pochet Group's Responsible Luxury program.
L'Essentiel is ultra-thin, lightweight and recyclable. For long-lasting product use, Qualipac has chosen a resistant, bio-sourced mono-material, designed for everyday use.
This packaging is also modular: each cup can be replaced individually, simply and quickly, thanks to an innovative refill system. The L'Essentiel box is accompanied by a "Paletbox", designed to store all the color harmonies.
The jury appreciated the reduction in environmental impact at every stage of the product's life cycle; every aspect has been optimized, while offering simplified use. "It has also been designed for both mobile and stationary use, making L'essentiel more than just packaging, but a real object," added jury member Jean-François Roucou.
Special Jury Mention for Fibreform by Billerudkorsnäs
The jury gave a special mention to BillerudKorsnäs for its Fibreform cap for champagnes. Its design makes it easy to remove after consumption; instead of the usual aluminum, the raw material used, called BillerudKorsnäs FibreForm®, is a sustainable packaging material, composed of 100% primary fresh fibers. It is therefore 100% recyclable.
The jury wished to encourage Billerudkorsnäs for this real innovation, and the substitution of a traditional material with a paper-based approach.
Verescence wins corporate responsibility award
In the category of responsible corporate initiatives, Verescence won the prize for its "Glass made to last" CSR initiative.
This is based on 3 pillars: People First, Act for Society & Eco Solutions.
The jury wanted to highlight the maturity of their approach, which is perfectly structured. The figures, the vision and the ambitions are shared by all levels of the company, from workers to senior management.
