This edition will bring together academic and industrial experts around key themes:

Let’s build the future of the cosmetics industry together!

For several years, environmental issues have been taking up more and more space within the major axes of innovation, all cosmetic companies combined, from young SMEs to large century-old groups.

Among these challenges, the themes of water conservation💧and packaging🫙 are major. Our sector therefore wishes to be proactive in seeking solutions to produce better, consume better and recycle better .

To address these challenges, COSMETIC VALLEY and the European consortium ACTT4Cosmetics invite you to an exceptional collaborative day! Take part in the discussions and contribute to the pooling of solutions around these themes to exchange with cosmetics professionals and experts, explore innovative solutions, and co-create strategies for sustainable water management and eco-design of packaging.

→ The workshops will take place on Tuesday, May 20, 2025

→ At the House of Latin America in Paris

→ From 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Environmental transition stakeholders: we look forward to seeing many of you!
