Sustainability and disruptive design take the lead at ADF&PCD Awards 2020

ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020, the event for the aerosol, dispensing, perfume, luxury drinks & cosmetic packaging community, has announced the winners of its dedicated awards: ADF and PCD Awards Paris 2020.

For the ADF Awards, personal care and household names such as Kao, Tubex and Lindal received gongs alongside other names like Anyway Spray and Virospack, focusing on topics such as consumer experience and convenience as well as sustainability.

For the PCD Awards, eco-design was a determining factor in packaging development and a source of much of the innovation presented this year. Notably, when it came to large-volume categories like personal care, but also increasingly as refillable solutions are seen as a way of offering new services and perceived value to consumers at the luxury end of the market.
