Sharon Humphreys from the Packaging Council of New Zealand

Sharon has lead the Packaging Council since 2013.  An organization which represents the packaging industry as a key sector in the New Zealand economy, one that improves the utility and safety of products and underpins producers and manufacturers efforts to ‘add value’ in an export-dependent economy.  Independent analysis by KPMG puts the value of the New Zealand packaging industry at $3.9 billion and the latest 2017 Infometrics data shows that around six thousand businesses support 51 thousand employees.  Sharon is a passionate ambassador for the role packaging plays in a sustainable society, encouraging sensible debate around the contradictory position of packaging being both a waste preventer and a waste creator, strongly advocating for fact-based, evidence-driven solutions which take account of whole-of-life considerations.
