An economy for the future - A Guideline for energy efficient cosmetic manufacturing

Description

EnergieSchweiz (Swiss Federal Office of Energy) supports measures for energy optimisation or reduction. In this project, under the leadership of the University of Luzern (Prof. Dr. Ludger Fischer), energy-optimising measures are being implemented in cosmetics production with 3 Swiss SMEs. The findings will be incorporated into a general energy guide that will be published from summer 2023. The project is also supported financially and ideally by the Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists SWISS SCC. In this context, they are initiating sustainable transformation processes in the development and production of their members, so that the Swiss cosmetics industry can become part of the economy of the future.
