SAGE PACKAGING

 

SAGE is the movement towards a Sustainably AGEing (SAGE) society worldwide. NVC Packaging Centre is committed to the development of packaging in support of SAGE.

Packaging is the activity of temporarily integrating an external function and a product to enable the use of the product. Every second 320,000 products are packed for the world population. SAGE PACKAGING can and must and will bring significant benefits for tomorrow’s sustainably ageing society. Below you find some of the SAGE inspired activities coming up.
