It must be so without sacrificing any of the food-protection properties that plastic offers.
Global Eco Friendly Food Packaging Market Dynamics
Government initiatives toward eco-friendly packaging
Consumer awareness and stringent government rules about the hazards of using single-use plastic products for food packaging are driving the growth of the eco-friendly food packaging market across the globe. Regulations for single-use plastics are very harsh in the European region. The European region is projected to account significant opportunities for industry expansion, due to favorable government policies adopted by the European Union in stimulating use of eco-friendly food packaging and creating a sustainable environment. Moreover, application of the Horizon 2020 strategy by European Commission has resulted in expanding development of new bio-based products, which is anticipated to have a positive impact on the eco-friendly food packaging market.
Key trends driving growth of the target market
Growth in solid municipal waste, companies are moving toward substitutes, such as starch, seaweed, aluminum cans, paper & paperboards, and other reusable and recyclable products for their food & beverage products. Recycling and reusing of products decreases the generation of waste. Additionally, degradable materials are degraded by micro-organisms present in the soil without destroying nature. Therefore, there demand for such products is high in the global market. Increasing recycling and waste recovery, downsizing or light weighting, rising use of recycled content, growing use of renewably sourced materials, and improvements in packaging and logistical efficiency are some of the key industry trends for the target market.
However, fluctuating price level of raw materials and high production cost can limit growth of the global market. Additionally, factors like stringent recycling proceedings and poor recycling facilities can curb down the potential of the global market.
