CHINA: The Asia-Pacific edition of the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit will discuss the future role of ethical labels, green ingredients and sustainable packaging. Organized by Organic Monitor, the summit will be held in Hong Kong on Nov. 14-15, 2016.
The mushrooming number of ethical labels on cosmetics and personal care products raises many questions; for example, apart from natural and organic, what other labels are becoming popular? With Asia housing more than one billion Muslim consumers, how can brands get the Halal label on their products? A dedicated workshop will discuss the future outlook for ethical labels in the cosmetics industry. An update will be given on the upcoming ISO standard for natural and organic cosmetics, as well as new labels such as fair trade, gluten-free and more. In addition, the summit will also look at which labels are likely to make most inroads in the Asian market.
AmorePacific, arguably the most sustainable cosmetics company in Asia, will provide insights into its green initiatives. Jun Seong Park will give details of the company’s Asia Beauty Creator plan and how it aims to change the world.
Angela Buglass, CEO of New Zealand natural skin care brand Trilogy, will discuss the challenges of going carbon neutral.
Peter Francis from Abache Organics will share the brand’s experiences in targeting the hair salon market. The Australian brand has received many accolades for its organic hair care range, according to summit organizers.
Other seminars will cover accessing the Japanese natural and organic beauty products market, consumer insights and green marketing communications.
An award-winning designer and engineer will host a dedicated workshop on sustainability in packaging. Simon Lockrey from RMIT University will discuss the pitfalls and opportunities when brands consider the green packaging route. Through lifecycle analysis, practical solutions will be given on how to reduce the packaging impact of cosmetic and personal care products.
