Romania's CAHM Europe Triumphs with Green & Organic Award at Cosmoprof 2026
CAHM Europe: Leading the Charge in Sustainable Beauty
In an impressive commendation of sustainability and innovation, Romanian company CAHM Europe has received the prestigious 'Green & Organic Award' at the Cosmoprof Awards 2026. This accolade was awarded during the renowned Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, a significant event in the beauty industry calendar, attracting attention from around the globe. The award highlights their innovative product, Qpearl® – CycleOne, designed to replace traditional liquid shower gels and shampoos with a more eco-friendly alternative.
Qpearl® – CycleOne introduces a revolutionary system built around water-activated cleansing pearls. Each highly concentrated pearl provides the effectiveness of 50 ml of standard product in just a 2 ml dose. These pearls are encapsulated in a fully water-soluble biomaterial membrane and are used alongside a reusable dispenser, effectively eliminating the need for single-use plastic products. This approach significantly reduces environmental impact, lowering CO₂ emissions by up to 93% across the supply chain.
The award was presented by an international panel of industry experts, who were particularly impressed by the product's innovation and relevance in a market increasingly driven by sustainability. CAHM Europe’s CEO, Andrejs Severins, emphasized that this victory underscores Romania's potential as a leading contributor of innovative solutions to address critical environmental challenges faced by the cosmetics and hospitality industries. "Winning the 'Green & Organic Award' is more than just an accolade; it proves that innovations developed in Romania can compete at the highest level," he remarked. "We started with a real problem—the vast amount of plastic waste in the hospitality sector—and developed a solution that is effective, sustainable, and user-friendly."
Qpearl® has already won several international awards, including a gold medal for eco-design in Paris and a bronze medal in Los Angeles. It has been showcased in the Cosmotrends Bologna exhibition and received accolades in industry competitions in Madrid, further establishing its global significance. The company's commitment to sustainability, combined with technological advancement and user experience, opens new avenues for international growth, especially in the hospitality and retail sectors where the demand for environmentally friendly solutions is on the rise.
CAHM Europe operates one of Eastern Europe's most advanced facilities for producing hotel cosmetics and personal care products, distributing brands like Sense, Botanika, Omnia, and Holiday Care in over 30 countries. The company adheres to 5S standards and incorporates recyclable rPET and Plant Bottle packaging, ensuring material recycling while promoting sustainable practices in the industry.
With the increasing global emphasis on sustainability and eco-conscious living, the products from CAHM Europe are poised to reshape the future of personal hygiene. As they continue to innovate and respond to market demands, the company stands at the forefront of a movement towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly cosmetic industry. The 'Green & Organic Award' not only reaffirms their commitment but also inspires other companies to pursue greener alternatives in their product lines.
