The Sustainable Business Network says massive collaboration between businesses and industries is needed if New Zealand is to meet the tight seven-year target it has signed up to in a global plastics packaging agreement. “There needs to be a wider approach, for example, problematic and unnecessary plastic packaging needs to be identified and eliminated from our supply chains,” the report’s author, James Griffin, says.
