Establish highest obtainable objectives and sustainability plans for the industry

Abstract/summary

In the Packaging Agreement 2013-2022 (Packaging Agreement) is agreed that industries should develop plans to ensure the sustainability of the packaging chain. The Packaging Agreement is the agreement between the national government, the municipalities, and the producers and importers of packaged products, on the implementation of the Packaging Decree. The Packaging Decree is based on the EU directive on packaging. In summary the approach of the KIDV is as follows:  the industries will develop sustainability plans for the industry and based on the data and insights of exemplary companies will determine the highest obtainable objectives for the industry;  companies and industries can utilize the methodology which has been developed by the KIDV;  in the approach used by the KIDV, the highest obtainable objectives are logically based on the leading companies in the industry, resulting in a stimulus for the sustainability of the entire industry; the share of front-runners in the population of companies should play a prominent role;  the KIDV reviews the highest obtainable objectives for each industry and determines these objectives;  upon request the KIDV will support the leading companies on their further steps, such as research.
