At the end of March, ecobuddy was invited to take part in COSMOPROOF WORLDWIDE BOLOGNA, one of the most important international trade fairs in the beauty industry.

It was an extremely valuable experience: ecobuddy came away with interesting meetings, new contacts and a clear confirmation that the beauty and packaging sectors are increasingly open to materials and solutions that combine innovation and sustainability.

For ecobuddy, it was important to engage with companies, real-world needs and new prospects for collaboration, in a context where adding value to waste can also become a tangible opportunity for the supply chain.

This exchange fits perfectly with the aims of the LIFE RESTART project, which works to transform waste into resources and contribute to more circular and sustainable models.
