What is Sustainable Packaging?

Sustainable packaging involves designing and using packaging materials that minimize environmental impact. This includes reducing waste, conserving resources, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and encouraging responsible material use. Consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging has grown substantially, pushing companies to adopt sustainable packaging practices. Additionally, e-commerce growth has created a need for packaging that is not only protective but also lightweight, recyclable, and easy to dispose of.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Sustainable Packaging Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had several effects on the sustainable packaging industry. Some governments temporarily relaxed bans on single-use plastics due to virus concerns, impacting plastic waste reduction initiatives. Disrupted global supply chains delayed sustainable packaging material availability, and consumer priorities shifted amid economic uncertainty. Additionally, increased online shopping led to heightened demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions to protect goods in transit.
