PreZero

Yeah, but speaking of your activities, maybe or very few of our Innoform listeners actually know what you do exactly and where you do it.

Yes, so I work for PreZero Polymers.

PreZero is probably well known.

It's basically the big circular economy and sustainability service provider for the Schwarz Group, which originally grew out of Green Cycle.

Schwarz Group, for anyone who's literally been living under a rock, is Lidl and Kaufland.

Zwolle, I think both are pre-zero facilities.

We have, I think, another one near Brussels.

And then there's that big one in Sweden, if I'm not mistaken, that Plan Zero, connected to PreZero again, but that's a handful by now.

And we'll discuss what help there is available for companies out there who are struggling.

And yeah, with me to do that, I have Alexander Reitz, who is Head of Consulting at PreZero Packaging.

And he will share tips and insights and discuss pitfalls to avoid from the unique perspective of a consultancy business that was in charge of building the largest EPR system in Germany.

also is a sister company to Lidl and Kaufland, major retailers in Germany, in case you're not familiar with those.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for having me.

To get us started, could you tell me a bit more about yourself and also about PreZero Packaging and how the different arms of the business kind of complement each other?

Sure, absolutely.
