Inspiration for our sustainability mission, “Reshaping Packaging”
Formulating a mission statement is one thing, living by and acting on it, is quite another. NNZ makes a tangible commitment to sustainability and embraces specific UN Sustainability Development Goals to this end. The organisation also embraces the objective of the EU’s New Circular Economy Action Plan from March 2020. This plan is one of the key components of the European Green Deal, Europe’s programme for sustainable growth. NNZ aims to make all packaging reusable or recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030. Our biggest challenge for the future: transforming the packaging world into a fully circular value chain. “Reshaping packaging for a better world” is our guiding principle, and to that end, we dedicate our passion and professionalism.
