ADF Innovation Awards finalists announced

The ADF&PCD and PLD Innovation Awards reward the most outstanding packaging innovations of the year in the European market, across the aerosols, cosmetics, personal care, dispensing systems, perfume, and premium drinks sectors.

In 2021, the competition received 160 wide-ranging entries. The three separate awards jury meetings were held virtually for all jury members, and in person for the awards chairman and organisers, in the context of the pandemic. Each awards jury was expanded and included independent experts, professionals, and journalists from their areas of expertise.

“These jury meetings are moments of rich and exciting exchanges,” said Christelle Anya, content and community director at Easyfairs. “These are moments of sharing that we appreciate every year as organisers of these awards.

“They are all keen to evaluate the innovations of the luxury market, to share their expertise and to exchange ideas between professionals on the innovations that are in competition.”
