Partnering once again with the team at Informa Markets, Products of Change will be delivering a showcase of the industry’s leading pioneers and innovators to drive the conservation of sustainability across not only the show floor but the global brand and licensing industry.

Working in alignment with the show’s overarching theme of propelling brand licensing into the future, Products of Change will be offering the latest insight across two specially curated roundtables presenting the industry’s ongoing efforts to produce a methodology for measuring the industry’s scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, as well as showcasing some of the most innovative partners from the Products of Change community.

From 21-23 May, the Products of Change booth (S226) will host a selection of the pioneering brands and licensing partners at the vanguard of industry change.

The team will spotlight new approaches to design and product creation in alignment with industry sustainable development, while paying homage to the cutting edge at which these companies are working.

Companies showcasing this year will include: the LEGO Group and its Build the Change sustainability campaign; Smiley’s Future Positive initiative; the product environmental impact scoring company, Dayrize; Fabacus, the team behind the industry’s first digital product passport; the closed-loop waste management team Upcycle Labs; and Refried Apparel.

The Products of Change booth will also host this year’s shortlisted finalists for the Licensing International Excellence Awards’ Best Sustainability Initiative:

  • Delipap’s Moon Baby Diapers
  • Groundtruth’s Ed Stafford Sustainable Duffle Bag
  • Boxed Water’s Minions range
