in-cosmetics Global, the world’s leading event for personal care ingredients, has launched its new Sustainability Trends Barometer, addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the industry in its ongoing journey to reduce its carbon footprint.
This new Sustainability Trends Barometer calls out for industry-wide action against climate change.
Combining Insights & Advice from Leading Experts
Following the path of a personal care product, the report looks at the state of the cosmetics and personal care industry through an eco lens, combining insights and advice from leading experts including representatives from Weleda, Apivita, Beauty Kitchen, Ecovia Intelligence, and other CPG brand names.
As conscious consumerism and ‘clean’ beauty dominate the industry’s agenda, combined with calls for brands to reduce the carbon footprint of their products, the report explores how suppliers, manufacturers, and brands across the whole supply chain can work towards a circular economy. It highlights how the onus is no longer placed solely on plastic packaging materials, but on the entire supply chain, from ingredient sourcing to end-of-life properties.
Adopting initiatives such as accuracy in data and traceability, ingredient sourcing, working with waste ingredients, and streamlining transportation, are just a few of the actions the report explores.
Echoing this on the show floor in March, in-cosmetics Global’s new Sustainability Zone has been introduced to expand the show’s sustainability offering, providing more information and opportunities to attendees looking to improve their carbon footprint. The Zone will consist of the existing sustainability display and theatre (sponsored by
AAK ) and the new sustainability pavilion (sponsored by Farmforce). in-cosmetics Global’s sustainability area development is supported by The Green Chemist Consultancy and presented in partnership with Ecovia Intelligence.
Roziani Zulkifli, exhibitions director at in-cosmetics Global, said, “
Over the last decade, we’ve seen trends in the cosmetic and personal care industry take a clear shift as consumers are increasingly paying attention to the impact their products have on the environment. Sustainability, and the concept of ‘conscious consumerism’, has gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have. Therefore, it seems imperative that this year’s in-cosmetics Global show has sustainability at the forefront of discussions, with our premiere Trends Barometer report and our new Sustainability Zone leading this."
“
The in-cosmetics Global Trends Barometer puts the spotlight on the future of sustainability in the cosmetics and personal care industry, bringing together insights from experts leading this exciting new chapter. Their insights and advice provide an overview of the challenges facing the industry, and why taking the next step to embrace a circular and sustainable future is paramount.”
