Qualipac, part of the Pochet Group, won the Luxe Pack in Green Award award in the category Packaging Solutions. The award-winning make-up holder L’Essentiel was born out of the company’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 section can be simply and quickly individually replaced, thanks to an innovative recharge system. L’Essentiel comes with a Paletbox, designed to organize all the colour harmonies.
The jury liked the reduced environmental impact at all stages in the product life cycle; each aspect has been optimised 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 Jean-François Roucou.
Special jury award
The jury were keen to make special mention of the BillerudKorsnäs submission: the Fibreform cap for champagne bottles. Its design makes it easy to remove; instead of the usual aluminium the raw material used – BillerudKorsnäs FibreForm – is a sustainable packaging material made of 100% primary fibre. It is therefore 100% recyclable. The jury wanted to encourage Billerudkorsnäs for this real innovation and for substituting a material firmly rooted in current practices but taking a paper approach.
Winner of the corporate social responsibility category
In the corporate social responsibility category, Verescence won the award for its CSR approach Glass made to last which is organized around 3 pillars: People First, Act for Society & Eco Solutions.
The jury wanted to emphasise the maturity of their perfectly organised approach. The figures, vision and ambitions are carried through to every level in the company – from the shop floor to the general management.
The trophies designed and created by the company Pujolasos are simple, original and send a strong message that reflects Pujolasos’ approach to its customers. These precious bonsai trees, arranged in wooden boxes are original pieces of work and require the utmost care in everyday life… just like customers’ projects!
