Green packaging offers a platform for eco-friendly, healthy, and judicious methodology for packaging.
Global Green Packaging Market By Dynamics
Rising initiatives by government bodies
The green packaging market is developing and is projected to show significant growth over the forecast period, owing to factors such as the advent of bioplastic, environmental concerns on sustainable development and administration of stringent rules and policies by regulatory authorities. Additionally, there is an increase in awareness among consumers of luxury goods, toward green packaging techniques that use bioplastics as raw material, across various sectors, including, personal body care, FMCG, and pharmaceutical. For instance, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, and Starbucks have promised to phase out materials like plastics and polystyrene in the wake of a global movement against pollution. As of 2016, over 60% of McDonald's fiber-based packaging, worldwide, was obtained from certified or recycled sources. A wide range of oil-based polymer is presently used in non-biodegradable packaging applications. It is difficult to reuse or recycle this kind of material because it can get contaminated. Thus, to overcome the disadvantages of non-biodegradable products, biodegradable plastics were developed from renewable resources. Moreover, green packaging can decrease greenhouse gas emissions effect, due to the reduced reliance on fossil fuels in production and biodegradable nature of the products. Garden waste and land-filled organic food release methane gas that is used as renewable energy and the compost by-product can be used to enhance the quality of soil which will boost the growth of the target market over the forecast period.
However, the high set up cost and high production have refrained businesses to adapt to green packaging. Also, lack of space for storing recycled material and lack of government initiatives, mainly in the developing countries, through subsidies for recycling act as a restraint to the target market growth.
