Sustainability and Digital Technologies – Are digital technologies the way forward to become a more sustainable business?

9:30 - 10:45 am

Every day, we send emails, we surf the web, we archive videos, photos or music in the Cloud. We often feel that the whole process is immaterial and almost free, but it is not. Computer, ADSL boxes, routers, cables, servers, storage units, telecommunication equipment: the equipment needed is real. Just like the consumption of energy and non-renewable resources to make and operate them.

Session Moderators:  Vincent Gallon, PremiumBeautyNews.com; Julien Barreau, Lush; Maryelle Allemand, Rise Emerging Culture

The Challenges of Packaging in eCommerce

11:00 am - 12:00pm

Does packaging design have an impact on business?

In an evolving retail marketplace, companies will need to consider a lifecycle approach to designing products and packaging to meet varying requirements of online and offline retailers, growing customer preferences and a changing regulatory landscape. Both online retailers and producers will need to work together amidst this changing landscape and take a closer look at their products, packaging materials, processes, logistics and end of life management to drive material efficiencies and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Session Moderators: Michel Fontaine, Conseil National de l’Emballage; Stéphanie Havard, Procos GmbH; Jean-Marc Megnin, Shoppermind (Groupe Altavia); Carine Guerbet, Neopost Shipping; Jean-Philippe Homehr, DS Smith

Is Design a Tool for Making Packaging More Innovative?

3:30 - 4:30 pm

Demands placed on multi-action products on the market run high and packaging must reflect their multi-functional character in a clear, accurate manner. Product packaging design should be such that the consumer gets the message immediately.
