“Growing Shift Toward Sustainable and High-Barrier Packaging Solutions”
- One prominent trend in the global compostable multilayer films market is the increasing demand for sustainable packaging materials that offer both environmental benefits and advanced barrier properties, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications
- These films, made from renewable and compostable polymers such as PLA, PBAT, and starch blends, are gaining popularity as they combine biodegradability with the ability to protect contents from moisture, oxygen, and contamination
- For instance, In February 2024, TIPA Corp. introduced a new line of high-barrier compostable multilayer films designed specifically for food packaging, offering extended shelf life and full compostability under industrial conditions
- The trend is also fueled by rising consumer awareness, global regulatory pressure on single-use plastics, and the push for circular economy practices. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on innovation to produce multilayer films that meet performance expectations without compromising on sustainability
