The 31st edition of Luxe Pack Monaco saw jury members deliberate over the nominees for the Luxe Pack in green Awards. Every year the most environmentally friendly packaging solutions and corporate social responsibility initiatives receive recognition.

Qualipac wins the award in the Packaging Solutions category

Qualipac, part of the Pochet Group, received the award for the best packaging solution for its makeup holder “L'essentiel”. The solution was born out of Qualipac’s desire to offer a container that encourages sustainable consumption. The product is part of the Pochet Group’s Responsible Luxury program.

L’Essentiel is ultrafine, lightweight and recyclable. To ensure the product’s sustainability, Qualipac has chosen a bio-sourced, resistant mono-material designed for everyday use.

This packaging is also flexible; each individual section can be simply and quickly replaced, thanks to an innovative recharge system. L'Essentiel comes with a "Paletbox", enabling all colour harmonies to be organised efficiently.

The jury was impressed by the reduced environmental impact at all stages in the product life cycle. Each aspect has been optimized while also offering simplified use.

"It was also designed for use on the move or in one place, making l’Essentiel more than just packaging, but a real object", added jury member JeanFrançois Roucou.

Special jury award for Billerudkorsnäs’ Fibreform

The jury was keen to give a special mention to the BillerudKorsnäs submission: the Fibreform cap for champagne bottles. Its design makes facilitates its removal. Instead of using the usual aluminium raw material, BillerudKorsnäs FibreForm® is a sustainable packaging material made from 100% primary fibre. It is therefore 100% recyclable.

The jury recognised Billerudkorsnäs for this real innovation and for substituting a material firmly rooted in current practices by taking a paper approach.

Verescence wins the corporate social responsibility category

In the corporate social responsibility category, Verescence won the award for its CSR approach, "Glass made to last".

The approach is organized around 3 pillars: People First, Act for Society & Eco Solutions.

The jury emphasised the maturity of Verescence's approach, noting that their vision and ambitions are carried through to every level in the company, from the shop floor to the general management.
