Sustainable Packaging
French company Laboratoires Nuxe won this award having used an eco-design approach to reduce the weight of its Nuxe face care jars by 75%, giving significant reductions in energy use, resources, as well as lowering its environmental footprint.
Surya Brasil was runner-up for using green plastics in its Sapien Women range. By replacing conventional polyethylene with sugar cane-based ethanol, its packaging captures carbon dioxide during the production process.
Finalists in this award category were Organic Essence and Pangea Organics.
