Intro: Sustainable packaging: a definition

A definition of sustainable beauty packaging with a 360° view. Elevating your vision and thinking beyond just a beautiful pack.

1. The past revisited, beauty packaging from the beginning

A look at beauty packaging’s 300-year story and evolution. Understanding why we are where we are now and what we can learn from reinventing old methods.

3. Learning by doing - real life successes and failures

Case study and testimonials telling us what they’ve learned along the way and the practical do's and don'ts of sustainable packaging.

4. What is the industry currently innovating on?

A global tour of packaging innovations in primary and secondary packaging. Where might we focus our product development now?
