CAHM Europe Achieves Prestigious Green & Organic Award at Cosmoprof 2026
In a significant achievement for Romania, CAHM Europe has been awarded the prestigious Green & Organic Award at the Cosmoprof Awards 2026, held during the renowned Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2026 event. This honor recognizes the company's innovative product, Qpearl® – CycleOne, which offers a sustainable alternative to traditional liquid body washes and shampoos. The award was conferred by an international jury comprised of industry experts, and Qpearl® stood out among finalists from Germany, Spain, and Finland, thanks to its innovative approach, sustainability, and market relevance.
The Qpearl® – CycleOne system is based on water-activated cleansing pearls, where each ultra-concentrated pearl contains the equivalent of 50 ml of a regular product, packaged in just a 2 ml dose. These pearls are encased in a fully water-soluble, biomaterial membrane and are used with a reusable dispenser, effectively eliminating single-use plastics. This innovative system is designed to significantly mitigate environmental impact, aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions across its entire supply chain by up to 93%. By addressing the prevalent issue of plastic waste in the hospitality and personal care industries, Qpearl® meets the rising global demand for sustainable alternatives.
Andrei Severin, CEO of CAHM Europe, stated, "Winning the Green & Organic Award at the Cosmoprof Awards is more than just an accolade; it proves that innovation developed in Romania can compete at the highest levels. We focused on a tangible problem – the enormous plastic waste in the hospitality and restaurant sector – and created a solution that is efficient, sustainable, and user-friendly."
Qpearl® has already garnered several international accolades, including a gold award for eco-friendly design in Paris and a bronze award in Los Angeles. It was also showcased at Cosmotrends Bologna and honored in industry competitions in Madrid, underscoring its global significance.
The introduction of Qpearl® – CycleOne represents the fusion of sustainability, technology, and user experience, opening doors to new opportunities for international expansion, particularly within the hospitality, food service, and retail sectors, where the demand for eco-friendly solutions continues to rise.
