Plastic Packaging Consumption Survey 2024
The New Zealand Food & Grocery Council launched a Plastic Packaging consumption survey in 2020, managed by Dynata as an independent data collector. Dynata aggregates responses and provides the data for analysis and reporting.
Grocery sector data from the 2022 survey supported Valpak’s plastic packaging flows report for the Plastic Packaging Product Stewardship Scheme design project. The questionnaire, refined with input from Plastics NZ and The Packaging Forum, has remained consistent since 2022. See Appendix.
The survey expanded in 2021 and 2022 to include soft plastic recycling members and non-food retailers and manufacturers. In 2024, it was distributed via Dynata to 532 companies, including brand owners, retailers, packaging manufacturers, and logistics firms involved with NZFGC, The Packaging Forum, or the PPPS project. Recipients may not all use plastic packaging.
