The Branch Plan Sustainable Packaging 2019 - 2022 is a plan that describes how the fruit and vegetable sector can jointly take further action to increase the sustainability of packaging used for fruit, vegetables and mushrooms. The Branch Plan offers companies a framework within which sector goals and ambitions can be used to take their own approach to increasing sustainability. 

The Branch Plan Sustainable Packaging was established by the Fresh Produce Centre in collaboration with a working group formed by members and with support from Partners for Innovation. In Q1 of 2019, the Branch Plan was reviewed by the College of Independent Experts of the Netherlands Institute for Sustainable Packaging (KIDV).
