The packaging world is going through new challenges
The new regulatory landscape is forcing brands and packaging manufacturers to adopt sustainable packaging.
Single use plastic ban and perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) phase out are forcing companies to find alternatives to complex barrier solution (Polyethylene film) which are limiting recyclability.
From the market side, paperization is growing in every market segment. Plastic-to-Paper (P2P) is a clear trend among Top Food Packaging brands as consumers are actively taking steps to reduce their use of plastic packaging. In recent surveys, 55% of Europeans* said they prefer paper packaging due to a belief that it is better for the environment, and 60% of US respondents** said they’d pay more for a product with sustainable packaging.
