Global molded fiber packaging market: Growing popularity of recycled packaging

Various consumer goods companies have shifted from traditional recyclable packaging such as glass. metal, and others to flexible recyclables such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyimide (PA) films and molded fibers, over the past few decades. Similarly, there has been a rise in health concerns due to the pollution caused by the mismanagement of packaging waste around the world. Plastic has been a major contributor to the increasing environmental and health concerns as it is one of the most common materials used in packaging.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on packaging, “As plastics are made from the by-products of crude oil and natural gases, most of them are non-bio degradable. Thus, the food inside the packets may get contaminated with hazardous elements when plastic packets are not treated effectively, which can raise health concerns. Also, plastic packs add to the hazardous accumulation of landfills.”
