Luxe Pack Formulation and Luxe Home
Created in 2014, Luxe Pack Formulation brings together the worlds of perfumery and cosmetics and is dedicated to outsourcing and integrated solutions. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, flagship activities such as the “Next Gen Beauty Bar: Formulation Workshop” and presentations by two ambassadors set the tone for the event. An exclusive programme, combining testimonials from innovative brands and trend insights, attracts industry leaders every year.
For its part, Luxe Home, the space dedicated to home fragrances opening in 2023, has lived up to expectations. In addition to the exhibitors' offering in this hall, an exhibition presented around sixty products from all the manufacturers present at the show, offering visitors a complete experience in one place.
Design, at the heart of Luxe Pack's DNA
This year, Luxe Pack has partnered with Besign, a design school known for its commitment to sustainable design. They presented two avant-garde projects created for the Comité Colbert and the house of Rémy Martin.
In addition, numerous design-focused conferences were held, with the participation of renowned agencies such as Servaire & Co, Aktiva Design, Centdegrés and Vincent Villeger.
Luxe Pack in Green
Once again, the Luxe Pack in Green Awards, in collaboration with Infinity Global, received numerous nominations (64 in two categories). Exhibitors presented their best packaging innovations and CSR initiatives to the jury, which included members of Perrnod Ricard, Chanel, We Don't Need Roads, La Rosé, Möet Hennessy, Nuxe and Besign.
Technicaps took home the award for Re-Feel, a refillable jar for skincare products made in France and developed in collaboration with Pochet Group and Cilkoa. This innovation is the first refillable solution of its kind that eliminates the need for a plastic liner. The container features a mono-material lid made from recycled or bio-based plastic, produced by Technicaps or Qualipac, owned by Pochet. The cellulose refill cup, also produced by Technicaps, eliminates plastic in favour of Cilkoa’s mineral-based barrier treatment, which protects the material from oil and water.
Carbios won the award for the best CSR initiative for its biorecycling plant project, designed to achieve the total circularity of PET. The French biotechnology company developed an encapsulated enzyme that allows the biodegradation of PLA-rich packaging. The facility is designed to process 50.000 tons of PET waste per year.
Luxe Pack 2025 will take place from September 30th to October 2nd.
