Three juries of packaging experts, staff members from the most influential brands in the market and journalists voted to select the winners of the ADF&PCD and PLD Innovation Awards. Thanks to the online tools implemented by Easyfairs Oriex, organiser of the ADF&PCD and PLD Paris trade shows, the 50 jury members were able to evaluate the packs that entered the competition for the 15th edition of the ADF Innovation Awards, the 17th edition of the PCD Innovation Awards and the 1st edition of the PLD Innovation Awards.
Each year, trends emerge. “This year’s event focused on discussions about eco-design, new gestures, ergonomics, sustainable projects, refillable, reusable, connected products, recycled material, 3D printing, design, decoration, product environment, recycled aluminium, zero plastic, and the new codes for luxury,” said the organizers.
