The Sustainable Packaging session meanwhile is to feature Mirel Bioplastics discussing the potential of biopolymers and Aveda’s John Delfausse, who will share some of the company’s latest initiatives. This will be followed by a sustainable packaging workshop, drawing the summit to a close.

Another session, Marketing and Distribution Innovations, will highlight the latest developments in the natural and organic cosmetics market, as well as the challenges of expanding distribution.
