Sustainable packaging solutions are no longer an afterthought! Many government policies, including the introduction of plastics taxes, consumer preferences, and corporate standards demand businesses to implement sustainable packaging practices to reduce their environmental impact. Almost all the top 100 FMCG companies have announced sustainability commitments, with the top 10 aiming for 100% sustainable packaging by 2025.
Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about brands’ sustainability efforts, particularly when it comes to packaging waste.
Companies are looking into various solutions including introducing returnable packaging systems made of metal or glass, going packaging-free and/or replacing them with lightweight alternatives, simplifying packaging, and increasing the use of recycled or compostable/biodegradable materials. What other alternatives /solutions are available out there without compromising product integrity? Are they readily available? What is the end-of-life option for the material choice?
