Mylan Nguyen is a Senior Analyst at Euromonitor International, she directly contributes to the content and quality of Euromonitor International’s packaging research. Mylan primarily focuses on the beauty and personal care, monitoring industry trends and forecasts and providing key insights through articles and analysis into the packaging industry.

At FEA Global Aerosol Events 2018, Mylan Nguyen will provide an overview of the trends and key drivers shaping the global metal aerosol cans market, which accounts for over 9 billion units in 2017. While beauty and personal care is the main industry for the pack type, representing 51% of global retail metal aerosol cans sales in 2017, followed by home care at 38%, global metal aerosol cans volumes within beauty are set to increase by 3% to 2022. Mylan Nguyen will focus on discussing the main challenges and opportunities for aerosols in the global beauty and personal care and home care industries.

With his dual identities as psychiatrist and explorer, it is in Bertrand Piccard’s DNA to push back the boundaries of the possible and advocate for a pioneering spirit, as he did with his two round the world ights, with Solar Impulse and before that non-stop in a balloon. Envisioning ecology through the lens of pro tability, Bertrand demonstrates that clean and pro table solutions are “logical” more than just “eco-logical.” Over the years, he has become an in uential voice heard among the most distinguished institutions across the globe as a forward-thinking leader for progress and sustainability

Dick Darr, Plastipak’s VP Global Packaging Development has overall responsibility for Plastipak’s PET plastic aerosol development programme. Dick will discuss the challenges of designing and developing plastic aerosols, including the ability to withstand high pressures, for global markets. He will also discuss the relevant legislative requirements of each region, detailing the extensive testing regime to ensure that Plastipak’s PET aerosol containers are not only safe, but offer an outstanding consumer experience.

The roundtable will discuss how to “closing the loop” of aerosol product lifecycles through greater recycling, and bring bene ts for both the environment and the economy. The panel will discuss how aerosols should be best collected, sorted and recycled depending on the packaging stream and the region. There were successes, there are still challenges and barriers to overcome. Suf cient time will be allocated for a lively exchange with the audience.

An introduction to P&G’s view on ingredients transparency as a trust and reputation building strategy. Special focus on the cleaning products world.

The awareness of cultural differences and the development of cross cultural compe- tence are rapidly becoming vital for business success. But do we have the cultural in- sights, competencies and capabilities to successfully navigate cross-cultural interac- tions? In our own culture, we are more likely at ease with colleagues, clients and other stakeholders who share the same values, mindset and ways or working as we do. But can we associate and adapt with cultures different from our own? What are the pitfalls that we might encounter? Join this insightful session to learn how to make your interac- tions count by opening your mind into a topic often overlooked and underestimated in its impact on building trust, relationships and business success.

Toyo uses computer aided engineering for product development. Already in 2010 in Rome, the company presented a spraying system developed through computer simula- tions.

This year in Düsseldorf, Shohei Horiuchi will present recent simulation results on clinch- ing and crimping mechanisms. Toyo strongly believes that these ndings will help de- veloping a new sealing technology.

This presentation will investigate the strength of global aerosol innovation, asking what categories and countries are driving new aerosol launches, as well as identifying poten- tial threats and opportunities. Global launch examples from Mintel’s GNPD will illustrate how brands are leveraging aerosols, highlighting recent product launches to show re- sponses to changing consumer needs and desires.

The new inspection solution CIM is an important step towards full automation of aerosol can production. Three inspection units can be integrated into the high performance can handler: print inspection, can top inspection, and the brand-new SHAPE CONTROL which creates a 3D image to detect shape defects on the decorated can. CIM can be used in all aerosol can making lines.

In this presentation Volker will show videos of burning tests (e.g. plastic and metal cans with extremely flammable content) as well as of real accidents in the supply chain and of product miss-uses. His goal is to have a common understanding of the intrinsic hazards of aerosols cans and the levels of risk down the supply chain.
