NVC Innovation project Web Retail Packaging

Web Retail Packaging (WRP) is the packaging of products that are ordered online and delivered, directly at the consumer's home or via a collection point. WRP is an essential factor for the further stable growth of e-commerce, especially where physical products are concerned. What does the future of WRP look like and which packaging aspects constitute risks or opportunities? These questions are central to this NVC innovation project.

The basis for the project is the international NVC Working Group Web Retail Packaging, in which retailers, manufacturers and suppliers of packaging and related services work together for the sustainable growth of web shopping. The Working Group normally meets plenary 'live hybrid' once a year. Other (sub) meetings take place per web-co. Participation is exclusively for NVC member companies and by invitation.
The next meeting is Friday 27 September 2024. If you are interested to join the working group (members-only) please contact Corné Huijben via c.huijben@nvc.nl.
