The pressure for a sustainable future is increasing on both manufacturers and brands. How can they stand out from the crowd and gain consumers’ trust? What are the new packaging trends and innovations that will impact the industry?

Our Senior Trends Consultant, Richard Cope, will present on the future of packaging.

The future of packaging | Tuesday 8th October, 11:35 – 12:35

This presentation looks at how environmentally-friendly, re-usable and recyclable packaging will become the norm in future, demanded by consumers who are increasingly informed by lobbying and media campaigns, and driven by growing levels of international government legislation. Cope will look in detail at the consumer drivers behind this, current scenario forecasts, consumers’ attitudes to packaging across Europe and the best sustainable packaging innovations we are seeing worldwide.

Beauty innovation has split into two models: rapid, culturally responsive launches that convert attention into trial, and slower, science-led development that creates defensible value and builds worlds consumers want to belong to. In the future, growth will come from matching the pace of innovation to the consumer need, rather than treating speed or retail presence as the strategy itself.
