What Are the Key Growth Drivers Fueling the Eco-Friendly Food Packaging Market Expansion?
The escalating consciousness among consumers regarding the disadvantages of using plastic materials for food packaging is fueling the expansion of the eco-friendly food packaging market. The prolific use of single-use and non-biodegradable plastic packaging products has a severe negative impact on the environment. Given that plastic can take centuries to decay in landfill sites, during this extensive period, the plastic waste pollutes our surroundings, posing significant threats to plants, animals, and humans. For example, a report by the World Economic Forum reveals that countries like Germany and Austria lead in waste recycling, at rates of 56% and 52% respectively. Further, certain countries like Wales have set ambitious recycling targets for themselves, with ambitions to achieve zero waste by 2050, whereas, the EU is contemplating a new target of at least 65% by 2030. Therefore, this rise in public awareness about the dangers of plastic food packaging should further drive the development of the eco-friendly food packaging market in future.
