Sustainable Plastic Packaging Market (By Type: Flexible, Rigid, Industrial; By Process: Reusable, Recyclable, Biodegradable; By End Use: Healthcare, Personal care, Food & beverage, Other) - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Opportunities and Forecast, 2020 – 2027

Acumen Research and Consulting estimates that global Sustainable Plastic Packaging market is expected to reach the market value of around US$ 120 Bn by 2027 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 6% in terms of revenue during the forecast period 2020 – 2027.

Sustainable plastic packing plays an important role not only in maintaining the product's shelf life but also in reducing adverse environmental impacts, which are prominent in use for packaging of non-biodegradables. The ecological footprint is therefore reduced by reusable packaging. In turn, this offers a platform for environmentally friendly, healthy and judgmental packaging methods.

The report provides analysis of global sustainable plastic packaging market for the period 2016-2027, wherein 2020 to 2027 is the forecast period and 2019 is considered as the base year.

Government regulations mandate the use of sustainable materials for plastic packaging in various industrial applications

The use of sustainable plastic packaging materials has also been approved by governments from many countries around the world. The addition of flame retardants, colouring agents, stabilizers and other chemicals will make recycled plastics more harmful. Various organizations, such as SPI, the National Food Processing Association, the FDA and others have also established additional laws to use recycled plastics for food packaging. The Society of Plastics Manufacturing has since developed new legislation on the recycling of recycled materials. These regulations and government policies have restricted the use and consumption of fossil-backed plastics and recycled plastics. One of the successful marketing strategies that represent the overall brand as an ethical and conscientious manufacturing business against nature is sustainable cultivation and manufacture of primary goods.

The sustainable plastic packaging industry is distinguished by growing worries about the environmental effect on the efforts of plastic and packaging producers to tackle the issue with the launch of biodegradable packaging solutions. The sustainable plastic packaging material is similar to the rubber, but after decomposition it contains extra soil nutrients. Trends in the plastic packaging industry include the emergence of novel packaging options that can be composted. NatureWorks has recently introduced new coffee-capsules with a sustainable plastic packaging material, a leading producer on the market for plastic packaging materials. Along with the implementation of sustainable plastic packaging material, manufacturers are also taking initiatives to establish a complete chain that ends with the correct disposal of plastics in the compostable plastic packaging material market. In order to ensure a system of closed-loop disposal, BASF has introduced a new "Futuro Compostable" initiative that involves bio-waste management and encourages appropriate application of compostable plastic packaging material. While policies are encouraging the use of compostable plastic packaging products, suppliers in the plastic goods compostable industry may face obstacles to create a closed-loop recycling program because, while it is compostable, it must be manufactured in large composting plants.
