The ADF Innovation Awards have recognised five groundbreaking aerosol projects that push the boundaries of engineering while prioritising environmental responsibility.
Presented on 4 February at Pavillon Vendôme during an exclusive gala evening, the awards highlighted innovations that optimise every component to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance.
"These Innovation Awards are not insignificant. They provide a way to assess the dynamism of the industry, reflected in the impressive number of entries received once again this year," explained Jean Blottière, general delegate of the Comité Français des Aérosols.
Alain d'Haese, secretary general of the European Aerosol Federation, added: "These awards are an incredible tool to motivate teams, particularly younger ones, who invest a great deal of energy in each project. It is difficult to know what the future will bring, which is why supporting talent and emerging trends is essential."
The winners were selected from more than 260 international entries by an expert jury including representatives from Unilever International, Procter & Gamble and the Comité Français des Aérosols.
