The LUXE PACK MONACO 2016 exhibition was the setting of this year’s LUXE PACK in Green Awards, rewarding the best environmentally-friendly packaging solution and the best corporate social responsibility approach.
This year, HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco paid particular homage to the striking initiatives of the LUXE PACK exhibitors, and the solutions they propose which demonstrate true commitment to the environment.
Every year, the LUXE PACK in Green Awards showcase and reward packaging innovations or practices that take into account environmental issues. The presence of HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco, himself involved in various environmental missions, demonstrates how these issues are occupying hearts and minds at the highest levels.
LUXE PACK also underscores its role as mouthpiece for an entire industry which, year upon year, continues to rise to the challenges in order to offer the world’s most prestigious brands packaging solutions in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
BORMIOLI LUIGI was the winner of the LUXE PACK in Green Award in the packaging solution category, with its Ecojar.
A new concept of ultralightweight glass jar, with patent pending, Ecojar is manufactured according to a press-and-blow glassmaking technique, taking inspiration from tableware manufacturing processes. This jar with its thin walls and threaded neck, a true technological feat, offers weight reductions of 50% and around 60% fewer CO2 discharges.
Mr. Frédéric Montali, Bormioli Communication Director, received from the hands of HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco a trophy designed and produced by Arthus Bertrand.
