Prevented Ocean Plastic™ debuted at London Packaging Week this month. While we’ve visited the show previously, this is was our first time exibiting.
London Packaging Week houses four events in one. Packaging Première, PCD, PLD and Food & Consumer Pack connect the world’s top luxury, beauty, drinks and FMCG groups with the packaging suppliers, materials and inspiration that will define the future of their brands. The two-day event hosts over 4500 visitors from across the industry.
“We’ve exhibited at a fair few shows now over the past two years and visited many more, and it’s always interesting to see the differences between the shows. It’s gratifying to see the genuine interest in our solution every single show, but even more so that it spans audiences. During London Packaging Week we spoke to more brands than at previous shows, and they were just as engaged in our story as some of the manufacturers and recyclers we’ve spoken to previously,” said Social Media and Events Lead, Melisa Kumas.
Kumas was joined by Prevented Ocean Plastic™ Founder and Director Raffi Schieir, and, for the first time on one of our stands, Technical Lead Kevin Mills, both were able to tell interested parties all about our rPET, rHDPE and rPP options.
Our partners were also out in full force, as the Prevented Ocean Plastic™ solution could not only be spotted at our stand, but also across the floor at our partners. Berry Global and Spectra Packaging
We showed a wide variety of samples at the booth, including some brand new ones such as KURE, Alter/Native by Suma and NEOWTR.
NEOWTR was actually also nominated as a finalist for the Innovation awards along side one of our other brands Tootilab. The Innovation awards at London Packaging Week are looking for the latest and greatest branded products and innovations available to the UK public market over the past year. They look at a couple of criteria: Technological Innovation, Design, Consumer Experience and Sustainability Impact. Tootilab was recognised with a special certification during the award show.
Prevented Ocean Plastic™ were proud to present at London Packaging Week. The team thank everyone who visited our booth for being interested in the work we do, including our ambassador Issa Batrane for stopping by, and we look forward to speaking to you again soon.
