This strategic amalgamation can serve as a huge platform for Graphic Packaging in the paper trays space, making it one of the leading companies in paper-based packaging sector.

Supermarkets to Prefer Paper Trays Over Plastic Counterparts

The paper trays market is largely influenced with growing demand from supermarkets worldwide. The ongoing plastic bans on account of environmental safety has transformed the FMCG packaging landscape as vendors of FMCG products and other consumer goods including food and beverages opt for paper trays and their variants such as fiber paper trays. Sustainability and fit for purpose paper trays are making a new entrance among food chains and supermarkets on the back of environment friendly production process of paper trays.

Companies in the paper trays market are leveraging this factor by linking with such supermarkets to promote their products.

For instance, in October 2018, Huhtamaki Oyj has collaborated with Waitrose & Partners, a UK based supermarket. The collaboration is to test the fiber-based recyclable tray by Huhtamaki for a period of two months.

Molded-Fiber Paper Trays Gain Momentum

Molded fiber paper trays are gaining significant traction on the back of growing inclination toward sustainable packaging. Apart from being eco-friendly and biodegradable, paper trays from molded fibers feature relatively higher strength and high resistance against dampening. In addition, molded fiber paper trays are cost effective with minimum warehouse and inventory cost.

Plant-Based Plastic Trays Emerge as Effective Alternative to Paper Trays

Players involved in plastic packaging have been focused on solving plastic problem. A shift toward using plant-based plastics in the manufacturing of paper trays has been witnessed. Paper trays from plant-based plastics are environment friendly, feature high strength and are a sustainable business practice. Cornstarch is one of the widely used material in paper trays made from plant-based plastics and have limited negative impact on environment. This factor continues to challenge the adoption of paper trays, in turn restricting the growth of the paper trays market.
