ABOUT US
Increasingly more entrepreneurs want to make their packaging more sustainable, because they see the importance and the opportunities of a circular economy for packaging material. This is why the Netherlands Institute for Sustainable Packaging (KIDV) advises and inspires companies with practical knowledge and tools. We help organisations to make well-considered and realistic choices. Let’s get started with sustainable packaging.
OUR MAIN INNOVATION GOALS
At KIDV, we specifically focus on three innovation tracks that are part of our larger so-called PackForward approach:
We believe that it is important to make rapid progress on all three innovation tracks, both separately and together. Although they are different, they form a ‘package deal’. It is therefore necessary to maximally intensify and coordinate our efforts on all three innovation tracks.
SPECIFIC INNOVATION NEEDS
We need packaging innovations on all three innovation tracks: recycling, circularity and intrinsically sustainable packaging. More information on these tracks can be found in our recent publication The State of Sustainable Packaging: www.kidv.nl/state
WHAT WE CAN OFFER STARTUPS, SCALE-UPS & SME'S
We also have our own Community of Sustainable Packaging Innovators, for start-ups/scale-ups/SME’s. The aim of this platform is to establish connections between sustainable packaging- and recycling ideas and the KIDV network of producers, retailers and recyclers. In this way we help start-ups, scale-ups, small and large companies to (further) accomplish innovations and to be present on the market. We can offer them and their innovations a position on the platform as exposure.
