L'Oreal names Bormioli Luigi to second L'AcceleratOR cohort

L'Oreal has selected 13 companies from eight countries for the second cohort of its L'AcceleratOR sustainability programme, backed by EUR 100m to fund pilots on climate, nature and circularity. Bormioli Luigi joins the Next-Generation Packaging & Materials category for its ultralight, resistant glass packaging. Cohort members undergo an acceleration phase led by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership before running six- to nine-month pilots with L'Oreal, with scope to scale successful projects across its global operations.
