NVC Meeting World standards on sustainable innovation in packaging
The world (ISO) standards for sustainable innovation in packaging are on their way and NVC plays an active role in their development. NVC managing director Michaël Nieuwesteeg is convenor of the working group addressing the worldwide prevention standard, including heavy metals and other noxious and hazardous substances. Four other global working groups each address a specific form of recycling/recovery. These working groups are also actively monitored by NVC.
NVC finds it important to receive input from companies that have to deal with these standards. Together we can then try to develop standards that meet our needs and, on the other side, prevent demands being included that may hamper the free international flow of packaged goods and packages. Therefore NVC members interested in actively participating in the development of these standards are invited to join the NVC mirror group.
During the meetings of the NVC mirror group a number of NVC members join forces to discuss what sustainable innovation in packaging is and how this is implemented in their companies. The goal is to give Michaël some input to take with him to the international ISO meetings.
During 2010 two meetings with the NVC mirror group took place. The third meeting took place in March 2011. During this meeting Michaël gave the participants a summary of the ISO meeting in Japan and we discussed the draft standards. The next NVC mirror group meeting will take place on December
