Edible Packaging Market By Material Type, and End Users - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2017-25

Edible packaging materials are made from proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids which are transformed into thin films. The film is converted into bags and pouches which are then used for wrapping food. They are commonly termed as food wrapped in food. Food packaged in edible packaging material is safe for human consumption. The main purpose of edible packaging is to create a strong barrier between the food and the environment which increases shelf life and quality of food and also reduce waste generation. A large amount of food packaging material is found in landfills. Usage of edible packaging would reduce the waste generated by food packaging industry. For instance, products such as, yogurt are double packaged where each serving is packaged in container and many such containers are packed in a large container. If each serving is packaged in edible packages than only larger package would be required.
