LUMSON'S XPAPER wins at Cosmopack Awards 2022
Another important accolade for XPaper, Lumson’s paper airless dispenser,
arrived at Cosmopack 2022. Already a winner of the 2021 ADI Design
Index Award for Innovation and in the running for the Compasso d’Oro
2022 , Lumson’s innovative airless packaging won in the Skincare &
Haircare Packaging Technology category at Cosmopack Awards 2022.
The
Cosmoprof & Cosmopack Awards are a highly coveted recognition in the
sector and are also a fundamental element of Cosmoprof network’s
international events. Today, they are the only competition that involves
all areas of the cosmetics industry and that acknowledges the power of
packaging, technology, and formulation in the world of beauty. The
exhibitors in the 2022 edition at Cosmoprof Worldwide submitted 602
products and services, and from among these, BEAUTYSTREAMS selected the
proposals that were most in line with the evolution of the market. An
international jury made up of industry experts, trend agencies, opinion
leaders, journalists and international influencers were called upon to
choose the packaging that best satisfied the criteria of innovation,
sustainability, functionality, and creativity.
Lumson’s paper
airless option wasn’t only judged to be one of the most innovative
packaging solutions but also emerged as “the perfect combination of
smart design, safety, and advanced functionality with a sustainable
touch”. The possibility of separating the plastic components from the
paper ones once the product inside is used up makes the packaging easily
recyclable and consistent with circular economy principles: reduction,
reuse, and recovery.
XPaper’s innovativeness is found, first off,
in the material that the bottle is made of: paper, the most sustainable
material conceptually and intuitively. With an additional bonus: thanks
to new printing technologies, paper is transformed from a “poor”
material into a premium one, capable of elevating the content and the
container all while fully respecting the environment.
XPaper,
currently patent pending, combines sustainability with safety, another
key issue for cosmetic packaging. In fact, the new paper airless
dispenser is part of the large Touchless family, airless packaging with
pouches equipped with a hermetic sealing system patented by Lumson.
LUMSON’S XPAPER: ORIGINAL, SUSTAINABLE, FUNCTIONAL
Within
the competition every year since 2008, three awards are handed out to
projects, products, and services that stand out for their innovation in
processes, materials, technology, changes of individual and social
behaviors, criticism and applied research. This year, Lumson’s XPaper
won one of the three awards.
The announcement of the winners came on
Friday afternoon in Bologna during the second day of Cosmopack. Onstage
to accept the award was Matteo Moretti, President of Lumson and the
creator of XPaper.
“I’m very proud of this award. Not only because
airless packaging represents the flagship product of cosmetic packaging
developed and produced by Lumson but also because XPaper’s recognition
at Cosmopack Awards is a testament to the importance of sustainable
innovation in the cosmetics industry – declared Matteo Moretti after the
awards ceremony-. The innovation that XPaper brings is even more
significant, because it places environmental awareness and eco-design in
the spotlight, combining them with safety and functionality – key
elements in today and tomorrow’s beauty sector. Once the product has run
out, you can separate the dispenser from the bottle in paper and send
it down the right recycling chain. And then there’s its safety and
creativity. Like all of our airless dispensers with pouch, it protects
the product from the risk of contamination with air or other outside
agents and can be customized with various printing technologies,
becoming a unique product that reflects a brand’s aesthetic and
philosophy”.
