Foundations of reuse, build the models of tomorrow

In response to the expectations of citizens, the Anti-waste law for a circular economy (AGEC) sets ambitious objectives for the marketing of reused and reusable packaging. Initiatives are multiplying to co-construct operational loops. New models are being developed. Update on the latest advances.

Emilie Parnière, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Development Engineer - CSR, Circular Economy and Territories, Afnor Group

Circular economy: a common language and tools to change the model

The circular economy aims to ensure the sustainable development of society by breaking with the linear economic logic of extract-produce-consume-dispose, which leads to the depletion of resources and the loss of biodiversity. The need to move towards this alternative model is increasingly recognised around the world, as demonstrated by the scale of the international work being carried out at ISO and led by France on the subject. Since 2018, 85 member countries have volunteered to establish a common vision of the circular economy, agree on a common language and offer economic players tools to support them in their transformation.
The Afnor Group offers you an update on these first international circular economy standards and a focus on specific work carried out in France for the packaging sector.

Benoît Meyronin, CEO of Korus Group Consulting and Professor at Grenoble Ecole de Management - Alexandre Souvignet, Co-founder and CEO of ALPHI

A new relationship with work: is 'care' part of the answer ?

Benoît Meyronin and Alexandre Souvignet invite you to share their thoughts on management through a particular prism: the ethics of care.
This form of ethics, which emerged in the United States in the early 1980s, is helping us to rethink our managerial practices in a destabilising context:
-Reversal of employer > employee power
-Attracting and retaining employees
-Demographics: the behaviour and expectations of 'connected' generations
-Post-pandemic expectations: caring is no longer an option, but an injunction
The two speakers will share their convictions and feedback through concrete examples, including that of the French leader in formwork solutions (and an international player).

Sidney Rostan, Founder & CEO Bioxegy, a design and engineering company pioneer of biomimicry in France

Biomimicry: when nature's ingenuity inspires the innovations of the future

Nature is a formidable reservoir of proven, sustainable technological know-how. With his teams, Sidney draws inspiration from the materials, functions, properties and mechanisms of living organisms to design new bio-inspired innovations. His company, Bioxegy, is a pioneer in biomimicry in Europe and works with the R&D departments of many industrial companies in France and elsewhere. Structural strength, lightness, eco-design, thermoregulation, colouring, contamination control... nature provides a wealth of solutions for the packaging industry. Come and find out what the prospects are for this original and promising approach !

Arnaud Le Berrigaud, Founder of ALB Expert Pack

Environmental claims... a double-edged sword ?

Producing and consuming in a more environmentally-friendly way is no longer just a challenge today, but the goal to be achieved if we are to radically change the way our society produces and consumes. The environmental argument is not a sales argument like any other: it brings together the commitment of a company and the involvement of a consumer in favour of sustainable development, and cannot be based on ambiguity or approximation.
More than ever, consumer expectations regarding the environmental impact of products and services have a decisive influence on their economic behaviour. And we must avoid losing them by using biased environmental claims.

What future for single-use packaging?

The 3R strategy is now known: in order to make them more environmentally friendly, single-use packaging must more than ever be eco-designed, recyclable and incorporate recycled material. But, already, public authorities and regulations, including at European level, are pushing to go further. Unnecessary packaging will eventually be banned. How to anticipate? What are the advances in recycling channels? On the program, concrete answers and sources of inspiration.

Florence Chapin, Industrial Property Attorney, Novagraaf

The art of packaging and industrial property: why and how to protect your packaging ?

As well as fulfilling its primary function of packaging goods, product packaging is used as a marketing tool, attracting customers with its visuals and messages and serving as a source of identification of a product's origin. It also enables companies to demonstrate their capacity for innovation. So why and how can companies protect something as important as their packaging ?

Bruno Siri, General Delegate, Conseil National de l'Emballage

Vacuum and packaging: the Conseil National de l'Emballage fills a gap !

Emptying and packaging: Regulations require packaging to be optimised in terms of both mass and volume. Mass reduction at source has long been anchored in companies. Taking volume reduction into account has given rise to heated and passionate debate. The CNE is analysing the factors that explain functional voids (voids that perform a function) and so-called "useless" voids (voids that players must reduce in accordance with regulations). The CNE proposes a way of thinking that allows us to move beyond the emotional perception of a void to the rationality of the subject.

Conseil Régional Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Let's reinvent our packaging, a cross-section of public and private players working towards a more sustainable economy !

Since 2020, the AGEC law has been encouraging companies to innovate in terms of packaging, and to promote eco-design, recycling and the improvement of end-of-life products. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional government and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region are key public players in this field, offering various forms of support to businesses in their areas.
Take a look at some of the initiatives and lessons learned, and find out how they are tackling transition and change, and the solutions they are proposing.

Discover SPI (Super Piezo Inkjet), a new Markem-Imaje technology, capable of printing very high-speed 2D QR codes that integrate GS1 Digital Link.
GS1 Digital Link makes it possible to link all types of B2B and B2C information (product references, batch numbers, expiry dates, allergens, instructions for use, recipes, sorting instructions or packaging weight) and to mark each product individually : serialisation on an industrial scale! Companies using GS1 Digital Link solutions will be able to benefit from the simplification of product packaging and establish a relationship with their customers like never before. It will also be possible to automate the withdrawal and recall of fast-moving consumer goods, with the product being blocked at the checkout if necessary. The possibilities are endles
