Celebrating packaging

COSSMA: Why is Paris Packaging Week 2022 a must-attend event?

Josh Brooks: First, it is a first edition under this name and with this new graphic identity. Secondly, Paris Packaging Week brings together the community of innovative players in terms of packaging for the beauty, premium drinks, and aerosol sectors. It is the place and the time to create connections between professionals, to get information, to observe the current trends, and to discover the latest innovations.

Christelle Anya: It is the major French event in Paris for professionals in the premium and luxury sectors. It is a place to grow your network, a place to learn from experts and to identify the best of what is currently happening in terms of packaging.

What will be the main topics of this 2022 edition?

Josh Brooks: Sustainable development will be in the spotlight more than ever. The show will allow brands to discover the best in terms of environmental approach, eco-design, recyclability, bio-sourced materials, and refills.

Christelle Anya: Sustainable development is a strong topic, and several conferences, including the opening conference of the PCD Awards ceremony by Franck Marilly, President of Shiseido Europe, will address this topic.

What message would you like to send to packaging professionals?

Josh Brooks: After a very long wait, everyone wants to get together. That’s why, over the past few months, our team has been working with event partners, exhibitors, and the entire community to prepare what promises to be the biggest edition in the event’s 21-year history.

Christelle Anya: We have devised an event full of networking opportunities, suppliers on our show floor and a programme of talks to meet the very high expectations of visitors. The exhibitors have already announced exclusive launches, which they are reserving for our event. Paris Packaging Week 2022 will be an edition rich in networking, discoveries and innovations.
