About Us

Mad World is one of New Zealand’s leading consultancies helping industry deliver product stewardship solutions.
We have helped our clients develop programmes, which meet the product stewardship requirements of the NZ Waste Minimisation Act (2008) and prepare for their responsibilities when Extended Producer Responsibility legislation is implemented. Lyn was one of the project managers leading the co-design of a mandatory Plastic Packaging Product Stewardship scheme (www.ppps.org.nz) on behalf of The Packaging Forum and the New Zealand Food & Grocery Council. 

Lyn has been declared by industry leaders and officials, as the leading consultant on European and UK legislative influences. Mad World brings deep insight into how EU PPWR and Container Return Schemes may influence your organisation.

We have achieved funding worth over NZ$ 13 million for clients from the Government's Waste Minimisation Fund and helped deliver successful projects. 

Sustainability is an integral part of everyday business. It's not just about consuming less, but about consuming differently, efficiently and more productively to conserve our natural resources and heritage.

We work to maximise the effectiveness of our client's professional and commercial arguments. We do this through our integrated and issues-led approach.

This ensures that we develop truly effective and informed communications strategies, often on tough, complex and sensitive issues as they play out in the media, politics and industry. We are dedicated to broadening our clients' constituencies, raising public awareness about the work they do and achieving measurable results.

To do this requires an understanding of both the commercial world and the political framework and culture. Our advice is based on research, intelligence and sound argument which has built us a portfolio of clients spanning industry, as well as local and national government departments. Our clients appreciate our bespoke workstyles that fit their specific project or queries.
